We got about 50 Trick or Treaters this year, which actually isn't terribly down from our normal 70 to 80, so I was pleasantly surprised. There were noticably fewer people handing out in the neighborhood, so they were happy to find us at the end of the street.
I think I enjoyed it more because I was outside with my mask on behind our gates. I got to talk to each group of children and tell them about my haunt and which houses in our neighborhood were participating. I only disappointed one guy who thought I had a walk through haunt.

Not getting many kidsat my house, but that's what happens even in a normal year.
ReplyDeleteI don't get many, usually about 30 - so this year I got about 25 which was normal.
DeleteWe only got 53 trick-or-treaters this Halloween. A record low for our 11th Halloween in this house, but for "2020", we'll consider it a success!
ReplyDeleteWatcha gonna do with all those lovely candy bags??
DeleteThose inflatable dinosaurs are so awesome. I made treat bags and gave away 1/2 of them so maybe 25-30 kids down from 176.
ReplyDeleteWow that is a steep drop. That inflatable dinosaur was so cute as he waddled along.
DeleteA dinosaur and Wonder Woman . . . PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteThey are great kids.

DeleteI got to wondering how much the t-rex costumes cost. Depending on size, they are $30 to $120.
ReplyDeleteThat kid was so cute in that costume that I think it was worth it.
DeleteSo very cute. My parents always prepare special bags for the children of their neighbours.
