Halloween 2021

We had a nice time tonight giving out candy for Halloween. We really didn't know what to expect after the pandemic non-trick or treat night last year. Becky got the usual amount of candy from Target and we had it on hand for the kids. Fortunately is was good weather and actually very pleasant on the porch. We sat out there all evening and I had a speaker playing my Rockin' Bones Halloween mix I had recently uploaded to Spotify.

We ended up having the usual amount of trick or treaters and actually these kids were all very polite and seemed happy to be out celebrating the holiday. There were a few houses giving out treats but not as many as in previous years and certainly did not feel like a block party as it had before the pandemic. There was also no PCA Halloween party at the church around the corner as usual. The pandemic was still on people's minds. Our next door neighbors usually have a candy chute that brings kids from all over the neighborhood to our block but this year there was only a sign stating stay healthy and get vaccinated. 

There were plenty of great costumes this year and a few of those new blow up outfits. We had a trio of teenage girls offer to sing us a song for treats which was a lot of fun and right off of Tic Tok.

We spent a little over two hours on the porch giving out candy.
