It was a pretty good Halloween for the kids. 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.

The weather was probably the best it’s been in years. It was 60 degrees by the time the kids went out for trick or treating. That’s warmer than it was at the beginning of the week and it’s probably one of the warmest Halloweens I’ve seen in years. I’ve seen snow, rain, and cold and windy conditions, so it being sunny and warm was nice.

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’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.

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.
