I took them to Stow, because Akron apparently does their Halloween at bizarre times.  I guess this year Halloween was a week before.  I think a lot of things came together to make this one of the best Halloweens we have had in recent memory.<\/p>\n<p>The weather was probably the best it&#8217;s been in years.  It was 60 degrees by the time the kids went out for trick or treating.  That&#8217;s warmer than it was at the beginning of the week and it&#8217;s probably one of the warmest Halloweens I&#8217;ve seen in years.  I&#8217;ve seen snow, rain, and cold and windy conditions, so it being sunny and warm was nice.<\/p>\n<p>Stow was a perfect place to trick or treat this year.  The kids were out from about 6 to 8 and managed to secure themselves pretty heavy bags of candy.  I think this is going to just get better for them as they get bigger and are able to get to more homes.  I know in years past they would have to stop because they were tired or time ran out and they didn&#8217;t get to every house, but this year I think they just about got every house in the development we always go to.  Might be time to find a bigger development.<\/p>\n<p>Watching them run around makes me wonder how much longer they are going to need me to tag along.  Eddy found a friend to run to every house with and Patty went completely off with her friends.  Of course there was an adult present either way, but I know that the time is coming when the parents jobs will be just to drop them off and pick them up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">_______________________________________<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a title=\"Scream mask, some sort of green robe, a vampire cape, and skeleton hands.\" rel=\"lightbox[H08]\" href=\"http:\/\/www.the500footbuddha.com\/pics\/halloween08\/IMG_0425.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.the500footbuddha.com\/pics\/halloween08\/IMG_0425.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"130\" \/><a title=\"Eddy asked me what he is, and I told him it was his job to figure out exactly what he wanted to call this creation.
