there was no-one here to hand it out so i put a bowl of it on the porch. i'd guess we went through three or four bags but i couldn't say if that's two kids that each took half or lots of kids that took a handful.
this is our first year here but i'd guess only 20-25 or so because we live on a looped street just off of a very pedestrian unfriendly road and it's likely it was just the neighborhood kids. we didn’t see more than 20 or so on our trek around last night.
i'm tellin' ya it’s the best kept secret around. the neighborhood is mostly young families and retired/semi-retired couples who love to see the kids in costume so they buy tons of candy and give each kid several handfuls with lots of smiles and oh-my-aren’t-you-just-the CUTEST!!!s.
we had a great time. i told my girl it was the best haul i’d ever seen. i used to have to work half the night to rake in what they got in just under and hour and a half.
it would have been even less time than that, ‘cept being new to the neighborhood, and having the cutest kids this side of the mason-dixon
, made lots of folks want to chat a bit.
