Well, I can't say because we were only heading back from Panama today, an 8 hour drive. But we did arrive home in time to take the 7 year old trick or treating. Our tradition has been to take all the kids -- neices and nephews and our own trick or treating every year, but this year the two oldest ones ditched us! How dare them. They were embarrassed! LOL. So we rushed back this morning from the beach and made it to our local McDonalds to get the little girl at around 8PM and we took her trick or treating until 11. Yikes! It was a late night, but she so deserved all that fun. We took her everywhere and then to my partner's dad's house for a really hilarious, sort of scary time.
She was a happy and tired little camper, but one hell of a trick or treater!
So we didn't even come straight home so I don't have a clue how many kids came by, but we didn't see many out tonight like we usually do. I just thought it was because we had a late start though. Maybe it is all about the parties these days. I love trick or treating with the kids though! I know when I hit my teen years, we mostly just partied though. Looks like we only have two more kids left that'll trick or treat with us!
Lol. When they get "too old" for it, I guess we'll have to confiscate someone else's small child to take trick or treating. Lol. It's really a fun night for us.
