This pretty much out did any halloween I ever had growing up. There were so many trick or treaters, it was unbelievable. I'm thinking it was something like 200, given that we ran out of 4 bags of candy in 1 hour and that was roughly 100 pieces.
It was seriously crazy. The trick or treaters started at 6pm. HRJ happened to want to go walk around the front yard about 5 till, so he and I headed outside to waste time. When we got out there I noticed some of our neighbors set up in their front yard. I quickly grabbed our candy and pumpkin and set up on the front porch. Then we got our first little boy and the wait while he walked down to me seemed like an eternity. So after he left I moved down the walk. And again with the next kids we seemed like forever, so ultimitely I ended up standing at the trunk of my car.
While the hubs, HRJ and I were standing waiting for some more trick or treaters we looked to our left. And not even kidding you there was a mass of people walking toward us. It was a sea of people, think of some huge protest. It was like that. I have never seen so many kids in my life. In fact you wouldn't know that that many kids even lived in the neighborhood. They descended on us and it was a blast!
We decided not take HRJ trick or treating this year so he and the hubs wandered up and down the street watching the kids and the DOGS! In fact he followed (with the hubs) a couple of dogs, pretty far down the street. It was adorable.
Here's our little skeleton!
