It will be difficult for me to describe the scene in our neighborhood last night. I don’t think there is a more Halloween-ified neighborhood in the state of Texas. It was AMAZING!
Our neighborhood has a Halloween parade, complete with a bag-piper and a firetruck leading the parade. I had been told about the parade, but thought that it would be like 15 kids – this is the scene.
I swear there were about 200 people there. Everyone dresses up. So fun.
Savannah and our neighbor Talia.
On the parade route. We thought that Savannah was bored as she was just quietly looking around during the first part of the parade, so we pulled off into our driveway. She burst into tears and yelled “More parade!!!!!!”, so we kept on parading. She was apparently just taking everything in.
Savannah completely unimpressed with the fire truck.
The first house for trick or treating! We have been working for a while to get Savannah to say ‘Trick or treat’ and ‘Thank You’. In general, she did a great job – sometimes she would mix them up. It’s pretty cute when a little kid yells “Trick or Treat!’ after you give them a piece of candy.
Here’s the greatest part you guys – Savannah doesn’t know that you can actually EAT the candy. She thinks that it’s just for putting in a pumpkin and sorting out later. We will continue this line of thought for as long as we can.
Sitting outside waiting for kids. Most of the neighbors just sit outside waiting as you get about 30 kids at a time. Seriously.
Savannah and I were out trick or treating for about 20 minutes and Conor said about 100 kids came to the door. I gave candy out to at least another 50-75.
All in all, a VERY successful and fun Halloween. I hope that yours was just as fun.
