We arrived in a campground outside of Grand Falls, New Brunswick, to find an early Halloween!! This was a predominantly French, family run campground, where most of the campers stay all summer. They had been celebrating all the holidays over the course of the summer, and the next day just happened to be Halloween!!
Well, you can imagine my joy!!! I, who love Halloween like no other holiday, finding it in August. So even though we were just planning on passing through, we had to stay to help celebrate. (That is the great thing about not having an itinerary written in stone!)
We walked around and handed out candy to the kids who were dressed up. Sean and Rianna got to go into the haunted house they had made, and then that night they had a big dance that we all went to. It was a great day!!
Our next stop was St. John. We stayed at a campground on a peninsula that was accessible by a ferry - the campground office was a built in 1785!!! (but it had some upgrades!) We were in St. John for a few days - lots of cool stuff.
Next - whale watching.....
Talk about luck of the Irish and you're not even Irish. Halloween should be a multi-celebrated event for you indeed. Perhaps you can start a new tradition. The outdoor education you are partaking in beats teaching 4 year olds to sit, line up and hold a pencil.
