Halloween

Halloween was pretty amazing. In the morning I helped my host mom in the garden and I actually liked it. Sounds weird but I did like it. After that we made our Pumpkins. I made a Tinkerbelle and a few stars on it. My host dad's pumpkin looked amazing. He made Frankenstein and it just looked amazing. When we finished our pumpkins I hurried to get in my Super girl costume and get my hair done so we could get to my host sisters and my friend's house on time.  We got there on time and guess what: We were the first. Beside one of my other friends was no one there. During we were waiting we ate snacks and talked. It was cold on that day and I wasn't wearing a shirt under my dress so my friend borrowed me one of hers. It wasn't warm but at least not that cold than it would be without the shirt. When everyone was finally arrived we took pictures and than we went from house to house and asked for "Trick or Treat". At the beginning it was kind of weird cause it was still light outside and I just wasn't used to go Trick or Treating on Halloween. When it started to get dark than it started to make fun. And it was a lot of fun. I got many candy that I had no idea what it was, I talked a lot with my friends, we were laughing and at the end, when we were back at our friends house, all of my friends were charring there candy, switched the candy that they don't like with something that they like. I was just sitting there cause I had no idea if I give something away that's good or not. So I kept all of my candy and after they changed all their candy, all of my friends went downstairs with me and made me try all the American candy, that I never had before. The most of it was disgusting. It was to sweet, had no flavor or was just gross. I definitely prefer German candy. What I liked most about Halloween and going from house to house was the decoration that the houses had. Some had huge pumpkins in front of their house and the faces from these pumpkins were pretty cool. At one house the hole garage was decorated and you could go in their, choose your candy, adult got alcohol and in the driveway were two animals that, if you step on the button, would jump on you. People always stepped on it and always got scared of it. It was funny. I loved that and I really enjoyed Halloween. 

Pumpkin picking

The day we went pumpkin picking was an interesting day. Me and my host sister had a sleepover at one of our friends house. It was spontaneously so we didn't have any clothes for the next day. So I just put on the clothes from the day before. I really didn't feel good. It was really cold on that day and I was freezing. Our friends mom brought us to the place where we met my host parents. They brought some warmer clothes for me, because it was actually snowing on that day. Not much but a little bit. Anywise after we switched into the other car we droved to the pumpkin place. It was really nice there. Cold but nice. We droved into the fields and there were so many pumpkins. I never really saw that before so it was pretty cool to see so many pumpkins at one place. In Germany we usually buy our pumpkins in a store. We walked into the fields to find the perfect pumpkin and when we found it we went as fast as we could back into the warm car. At the actual place where you could by the pumpkin was a bonfire, a place with animals that you could feed (most were goats) and a little store where you could buy food and something to drink. We got Hot Chocolate, and Fries. It was really good. When we finished eating we sat at the bonfire, finished our Hot Chocolate and went back to the car. We droved home to put the pumpkins out of the car, and change clothes. I smelled like Bonfire and my clothes weren't warm enough. So I changed in something warmer and than we droved to a place with lot's of scores. You could buy Maple Sirup, Cotton Candy, Scarfs and lot´s of more. There was a live band who played music in the background. The atmosphere with all this people, who were laughing or talking, and than the music let me feel like I´m in a movie that takes place in America. I felt so american. I don´t know why. There was a tent where different restaurants from this area sold their food. I had Pasta with lobster and it was so good. We went into a small store where you could buy anything. It was a cute store. We had Maple Cotton Candy. It was really good Cotton Candy. I think it was a good day.
