The kids had a moderate Halloween haul this year. I think we got a later start than usual or we walked slower. But for some reason we didn't cover as much of the neighborhood as we have in the past. There seemed to be large packs of kids roaming the streets with us while we were out.
We got home to hand out some candy of our own, and there were no more candy beggars to be found. Granted, we have a Grinchy-looking street that doesn't appear as candy generous as the blocks to the South. But I think a total of 5 kids came to the house. Things got pretty quiet by 7:45 PM. So, we ended the night with a huge supply of Tootsie rolls and Smartees.
The best costume of the night was a very large, adult Fred Flintstone. He had a beer in one hand and was dragging a cooler with the other hand. It was inspiring. I want to get a group together for next year's celebration. Why leave all the treats to the kids?
