Trunk or Treat

My son and his kids came over to our place last weekend for Trunk or Treat. My son was dressed up as a Cereal Killer. My granddaughter was Pomni from some show I've never heard of. And my grandson was Sonic the Hedgehog. Here's a few of the pictures I took:

Trick or Treat

 We had Trick or Treating last night. 

My wife and I handed out candy while the kids and grandkids were out beggin'.

Trick Or Treat 2016

Beggar's Night was on Saturday from 5:00 to 7:00 PM here in Akron. I made up 39 treat bags for the kids and had 25 of them left after two hours. Trick or Treat just ain't what it used to be. On the plus side it was 75° outside. That's the warmest I remember it being in a long while.

Give Me Something Good To Eat...

We had trick or treat here in Akron, OH Saturday night from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. It was around 50 degrees out and I was freezing! I'm not usually that cold, but I recently shaved my head and I don't go outside that often. My wife brought me hot cocoa in my Spider-Man mug. she's a swell gal!

The big bag of candy I bought was mostly Whoppers. I counted 43 Whoppers, 19 Kit Kats, 17 Hershey's and 16 Reese's. I think I put together around 51 treat bags and ended up giving out about 40 of them.

I didn't see any really cool costumes, half the kids didn't even wear one. One cool thing though was the new neighbors across the street. For some reason we have a large amount of people from Nepal immigrating to our area. I think that's where they are from. Anyway, one guy stood on his car while another guy was in the porch window. They held a rope with a pinata on it and all of the kids got a whack at it. It was neat watching that. And then they all came over to my house and got more candy.

After trick or treat was over, the wife and I went to Outback Steakhouse and then to the movies. We saw Goosebumps. I thought it was a pretty good flick.

Tricking & Treating

Saturday night was trick or treat night in Akron, OH. It was a nice night for this late in October. The temp. was 70° and no rain. It's usually in the 40s this time of year. I made 50 treat bags and ended up giving out 45 of them. I was expecting worse.

New Old Halloween Pictures

I love finding old Halloween photos! I was going through my mom's old photo albums and found these two pictures that I hadn't scanned before. Now I have. :)

 1985 - My brother as a superhero that he designed named Flaming Youth (it's a KISS song), me as Satan and our niece as Donald Duck.

1980 - Punkins!

What Happened To Trick-Or-Treating?

Last night was trick-or-treat here in Akron, OH from 5 PM until 7 PM. I made 40 treat bags to give out to the little beggars. I had 26 of them left at the end of the night. Last year I gave out 56 bags, two years ago around 60 and three years ago 32. The temperature was in the low 40s and shortly after 5:30 we had some freezing rain for about a minute. Was it too cold out? Do kids not trick-or-treat anymore? Or do they just not come down my street. I don't know. I hope for a better turn out next year.
