This year Halloween did in fact fall on Halloween and the person who said it wasn’t was a trouble maker. The weekend went well starting off with trunk or treat at the elder princess’ daycare. That was one of the first times for me handing out candy, at first I handed out a single candy and could see on the kid’s faces that wasn’t going to fly. From one to three pieces, I ended up passing out handfuls of candy. As the sun was setting, we were trick or treating around our own neighborhood. Houses are spread out enough that we drove the car around, maybe in the future we’ll have a golf cart. I knew people would have golf cart, but thought we would stick out driving a car until it came time for us to hand out candy and there were so many cars they were waiting in line. The visitors to the neighborhood seemed respectful, there didn’t seem to be any damage or lot of trash left around. Through this even we got to meet some more neighbors we haven’t yet and learned about a Facebook group for community events like next there will be some sort of candle vigil where everyone puts out paper bags with tea candles in them by the side of the road. The pictures I’ve seen from the past look great and we’re happy to live in a place that brings people together with fun events.
