Happy Halloween!!!! I'm sure I've written about Halloween in Australia before.  Generally it's not even close to the same here as it is in America.  I would never walk around the neighborhood and trick or treat. There are certain blocks that will have balloons outside their house to indicate they are participating and last year we participated in that.  Other years we had our own trick or treat in the house. {see  HERE  for some past Halloweens} Last weekend we were invited to a Halloween party...

We woke up with the sun and had oatmeal for breakfast.  Still in our pajamas we went for a morning walk... We relaxed a bit and broke down camp... The area we camped once was dominated by tents and diggers from around the world during Victoria's gold rush.  We headed back to Sovereign Hill..  Of course we hit the bar...  where Ry and I shared a beer and the kids shared a milkshake.  I think the highlight was the play we watched. Reed laughed so hard and so often...  Then on to the Gold Museum...  Fiona did a scavenger hunt and received a stamp and a gold coin.  On our way home we spotted a full rainbow...
