Trick-or-treating this year was unlike anything I have ever experienced. It was so fun for so many reasons.
First and foremost, we went with the Harrisons again. This was our 3rd year in a row to go with them. Love this tradition.
2008 (aw, there's Merit the mouse!)
2009
2010 (ohhh, August the mouse!)
Audrey and Merit stopped and stared at each other like this 2 or 3 times - so funny.
We weren't completely sure what it would be like this year. This was our first time to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. The street we live off of has a strip of big, beautiful, and historic (aka expensive) homes. I remember asking Kev a few weeks before Halloween if he thought anyone trick-or-treated at these houses. We found out on Halloween that 1000's of people do - and it is a huge deal! All of the home owners go all out, and the sidewalks are packed with people. It was like you see in the movies. :)
getting started
The first house we went to is actually Ben Folds' house. He was sitting on the front porch with a mask on. You didn't fool us, Ben! Here is one of his daughters handing out candy.
Merit got a lot of attention as the cutest cat there ever was. One of the ladies at this house asked Kev to take her picture with Merit and asked us if it was ok if she posted it on facebook. Ha.
The houses were all decorated and everyone was dressed up. Some of them were a little too scary for our bunch, but they were amazing nonetheless. It was harder to get pics as it got dark, so I don't have a ton of great ones, but there were people making shadows in windows, jumping out of bushes, a headless horseman, and a werewolf hiding in the bushes...all in good fun.
One house chose an MTV/80's theme. We had noticed them setting this up weeks before Halloween, but didn't know that it was all for Halloween night.
The lady who lives here decorates her house for everything, so it was no surprise that her porch was amazing. You walked through the pumpkin's mouth in the background into a little haunted house and then she gave away light-up necklaces to every kid. So fun, and so generous of her.
Merit was mesmerized
Proof that not only do I exist, but I went, too. We are falling over in this pic, and my eyes are huge from the flash, but I'll take it!
Penny and I with our girls!
What a fun Halloween we had. I can't wait to do it all again next year!
