The Halloween craziness isn't quite the hit it is in the States but from what I hear it has been picking up some speed. While the Belgians are still on the fence, we of course are geared up for one of our favorite fiesta's. Halloween in the Conley household goes way back before kids and marriage. I have and will always love dressing up and making a scene on October 31st. 
Some might find it creepy and some may think it's a bit on the dark side to celebrate fright night.....but we Conley's are just taking an opportunity to dress up, hang with friends and eat candy!

It's a small twist on trick or treating at Chievres Air base..JPG)
It's called Trunk or Treat and all are invited to participate. Hmmm, now "all" in this small village seems to say about 30-40 kids to me...but no no no. The word has spread and all means...all N.A.T.O. families, Chievres families and civilian employees and their families for a grand total of an estimated 400 people!!
Holy bat crap....400 hundred trick or treating tots tweaking out on treats are you kidding me? I LOVE IT! Once you register your vehicle with the base they assign you a space and then your obligated to provide enough candy for the masses...roughly 30 bags. So gal pals Brenda, Tracy, Jennifer and
myself joined forces and reserved space 5. The base sets up tables with numbers on them and you pull up to your space and decorate. There is, of course, a contest for the spookiest spot so we went all out.

The scary tunes were blasting from the van and on accident we had a great layer of fog rolling through the grave site...the exhaust! 
So we sat at out table 5, inhaling carcinogens, drinking our downlow hooch and passing out candy...oh and freezing our asses off. It was a great time had by all! Enjoy the pics!
