Last night Schinnen, an army base in the Netherlands, had a big Trunk or Treat for Halloween. I was really happy to hear that they were celebrating Halloween in some way because I would have felt awful if I had to crush Adeline's excitement in dressing as Blueberry Muffin (Strawberry Shortcake's friend) this year. Since it is an American holiday, it isn't really celebrated here. We have heard that some towns do celebrate it a little bit, but it is hit or miss. I ordered her costume before we moved and it ended up being more like Norah's size then Adeline's. Luckily she is just a peanut and was able to pull it off even if it was a little short :) Norah was also very excited to wear her costume and she must have known that she looked pretty dang cute in it.
We got on base early and ate some fast food for dinner and then headed with hundreds of other people through the trunk or treat trail. Afterwards the girls were able to do a couple crafts before we went back to our guesthouse. All in all it was a successful night and the girls had a blast.

Today we went to an indoor pool/waterpark called Aquana. It had 3 pretty big water slides, a lazy river with innertubes, a wave pool, a regular size pool and then a large pirate ship with some more slides, water spouts and a shallow pool area. We met two other families from our ward there and had so much fun. We for sure will be going back!
Other than our two exciting days in a row, we have not been up to anything. Since we are still borrowing our sponsors car, we are trying not to drive too much. It cost us almost 110 Euro to fill it up ($154) and we don't want to have to do that again until we get our own gas ration card where we can pay American prices! Abe bought a car and we should be able to pick it up on Wednesday. Monday I am meeting with my German OB for the first time, visiting Adeline's potential German Kindergarten, and officially signing the lease on our house!
