Halloween

[semperfiona]

So busy last week pre-Ambercon that I didn't have time to update about
Halloween. I took Rosa trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. For
the first time, we left our own block and went to the next block over.
Wow. They really get into Halloween over there. About ten times as many
houses were decorated and lit up, and there were even trick-or-treat
tourists!

A group of teenage girls were doing the Mummy Dance at each house they
visited--apparently a different group did the Time Warp at my house:
while I was away with Rosa, Chris and Tammie gave out candy at home.

Along the way, we met two little girls out trick-or-treating with their
parents. Rosa immediately glommed onto them and we stayed more-or-less
together until Rosa was called by nature and we went home.

So what exactly is a mummy dance?

And what was Rosa's costume?

It was rather like the zombies in "Thriller", and that was the music they used. The other dad called it the Mummy Dance and said the workers at Six Flags had been doing it during FrightFest.

She wore last year's princess outfit (and it just barely fit).
