Sadly, another Halloween has passed. My nephew stayed over last weekend and we went Halloween Bowling with my Rotary Club. Just about everyone was in costume and we had a great time (and raised some money for a home makeover project for a family in our neighborhood).
Yesterday, the HB and I started Halloween by taking candy to some kids who can't go trick-or-treating. We stopped by a transitional living facility for kids in Santa Monica. We then moved on to a local hospital, only to find that they don't have a pediatric ward anymore. But, they did have a haunted house in their rehab area (which was pretty cool) and we left a couple of bags with the nursing staff.
Before trick-or-treating, we had dinner at our neighbor's house and then led the kids on their hunt for candy en masse. We get literally hundreds of trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood (we never have enough candy), which is cool. There are a few TV/movie set designers on my street, so some of the houses are done up really well.
After making one candy drop-off, the HB wanted to visit some friends' houses that aren't on our street, but were still within walking distance. This gave us some time to hang together and go into some areas that were far less crowded. This meant he got a LOT more candy (and perhaps some extras for me and the wife).
I love Halloween--can't wait for next year!
