Getting into the Holiday Season on Steadfast

Another one of those questions in my mind when we started this nomadic adventure was what holidays would look like.  I did not want the kids to feel they were missing out on anything.  We got a bit of a sample this week with Halloween and we were really fortunate to have the Lyons family on Dawn Treader still in the harbor to share it with.  That coupled with Loren and Elliot's boundless energy and excitement (Loren counted down the days for nearly two weeks!) made for a really fun evening.

We ordered in pizza and the older boys and dads settled in for card games while the younger crowd trick-or-treated the harbor and the attached RV park.  I was totally shocked by how many boaters there were prepared with candy in hand, their boats lit up and decorated to attract guests.  The crowd was mixed young and old in the harbor itself but it was the RV group that I got a real kick out of.  Much older crowd who complimented the kids on their creative costumes and really seemed to feed off their energy.  My favorite moment of the night...the gentlemen who said he had been visiting the RV park for 18 years and had never had a trick-or-treater.  He felt really bad that he didn't have any candy but Elliot and Loren wished him a Happy Halloween and shared a piece of their loot.
