The first part of the evening we sent our group of witches, pumpkins, and Harry Potters through the haunted tunnel. Not brave enough to follow, I met my new friends at the sortie, each one informing me that they weren't a bit scared. Thus, I proceeded to scare them by dancing to the music-provided by our very own DJ Zach-o. Frightened into submission, the kids took a seat in a circle so we could play " Pass the Parcel ". Had I ever heard of this game, you might ask ? No, is the response, so I continued to dance in the middle of the circle as our fearless leader Rebekah led the jeu, every five minutes interrupting my silliness so I could chase after pumpkins and eighty's rockstars running to see their parents.
Next we braved the piñata. With a few prayers and our piñata keeper, Jillian's instructions, everyone left with no injuries, some with candy, others not so lucky. We then proceeded to join Zach-o at his station for none other than a dance party. Therefore, my efforts at dancing earlier were not in vain ; seeing me make a fool of myself made it much easier for the little ones to start. After what seemed like an hour of dancing and running after those little eighty's rockstars, we made it to " Apples on a String ". This game was quite intense and I'm surprised we didn't leave with fewer teeth than we started with. It seems simple, really, because all you have to do is bite an apple that is hanging from a string without using your hands-much much harder than you think. All went well and everyone left with an apple.
The party concluded with a costume competition for all the attendees. Yes, that meant both the parents and their children-the children strutting down the catwalk and the parents actively spectating. All in all, the evening was spectacular. I couldn't have asked for a better Halloween in France. Way to go, FRAM !
