Trick or Treaters

[CanuckShooter]

8:26 pm....and not a single trick or treater....just hate it that we got 4 boxes of goodies and no body graced us with their presence. How many hits did you get?

You ain't alone Jimbo nothing here either. We are babysitting horses as the fireworks tend to stress them out

We had about 68. Kept interrupting my football game. hahaha

100+ kids and ran out of goodies, nice and dry for a change for the kids.

We had under 30 kids this year , way down the norm was 70-90 kids . More treats in the Whitetail Blind for the old guy

I arrived home at 6pm from down south and didn't buy any candy so I just closed the blinds
and left the yard lights off so nobody came to the door. My wife was the generous one, not me.

Where we are there is never any kids come knocking....

Too bad, because I like to see the little ones out and about with their parents.

No kids came to our door.

So we went to a bonfire/fireworks at our friends place and gave a big bag of candy to the first kid we saw. They were happy haha

Back in my day, parents didn't go out with their kids that much...but the young kids went out
in groups looking after the really small fry. The older kids were the 'pranksters' out looking
for devilment and mayham.

We managed to hit 10 houses with our lion. He had a bad time at the forestry center up in Duncan last weekend so he's not to jazzed on halloween decor.
Lots of kids roaming our neighbourhood though!

A lion should always maintain good dental hygiene, especially after collecting candy.

Had three car loads of young kids this year, but I let it be known I have candys for the kids. Pretty rural here so kids
Have to be driven.

Only five youngsters in two groups came dressed .......................... they received a healthy handful each

 

[Bow Walker]

When we lived in town and did have kids coming to the door it was a lot of fun...

After the rush quieted down and you knew it was all but over, I used to unload most of the remaining candy onto the little ones that dribbled to the door. I have good-sized 'lunch hooks' and I'd dig in and give the kids a healthy handful of candy each (I always bought too much).

The looks and exclamations were priceless.

Halloween always was the highlight of the year for my wife which was fortified by our equally enthusiastic
kids even when in their late teens. She was a elementary school volunteer as well, so our house got turned
into a production zone for the making of decorations and costumes. She was a manager for a local
MacDonalds. She baked cookies and bought huge amounts of candies to give out at school, our place,
and at her place of work. So many kids knew her and loved her that there was a constant stream of kids
in costumes from very little ones that had a hard time getting up our stairs to teenagers and adults. The
last few years even my dog got into the excitement of greeting everyone....but not me. I would go down
into our basement rec room and watch a movie or 2 until it was all over.

Thus /\ the legend of "Scrooge" was born and later adapted to Christmas....






Or was that the "Curmudgeon"??

 

[Foxton Gundogs]

My kid sister is quite a bit younger so when we were in our early to mid teens, myself, TK and Big O would patrol the streets and deal justice to the older kids that tried to hijack the little ones candy. we ended up with almost as much "thank you" candy as the trick or treaters.
