Here we are ready to take off on a Belgian style haunted walk in the woods called the Halloween Wandeling (w nana + grandaddy and my Dutch friend Corien and her kids Rein and Floortje). The city organizes the event, which involves a leader taking a group for a walk in the woods with about 5 scary skits/stories being performed in Flemish. Ghosts, witches and goblins jump out from behind the trees and everyone gets a thrill.
Actually, the best part of this year's wandeling was when nana and grandaddy jumped out from behind bushes on our walk home! Dad also enjoyed being body-slammed by a human pumpkin! See previous post to understand why-
Typical of the Belgian style, there's always food, drinks and music to top off the evening. The walk ended with a beer/bratwoorst tent and a band playing and laser lights illuminating a centuries-old chapel. I love seeing how the Belgians embrace the Halloween tradition!

We couldn't get over the fact that the Belgians like to celebrate Halloween & really get into dressing up! I don't know who enjoyed the Wandeling thru the woods most of all, the kids or adults!
... and the pumpkin genever at the midway point!
