Happy Halloween

I love Halloween. It is so much fun to see the kids dress up and enjoy it so much.

When Charlie was about 2 1/2 and Annie 6 or 7 months old we were in San Diego for Halloween one year (the month of the big EDCO flood!) and we went trick or treating with the kids in this neighborhood that was just ideal. Everyone was out front and friendly and there were pot lucks going on and kids running up and down the street. John and I always said that is what we want for our kids one day and we truly have found it.

We left our house about 6:15 and within 10 minutes Annie found a friend and they were off running down the street together. Charlie and John were soon faster than Audrey and I so we all kind of went our separate ways for a while. About an hour later we stopped by the house and picked up Uncle Brett who came out with us. John had run into Dante and his family at some point and he borrowed his golf cart. After dropping Audrey & I back off at home to rest they were out another hour or so! Now we all have way more candy that we will ever need and it is time to pack it all up again and get ready for Thanksgiving!
