The day started out dreary and cold and rainy, just like every other Halloween we've had here in Traverse City, but by the time it was time to go trick-r-treating the skies parted and we actually saw some blue skies and the big yellow ball in the sky. Though it was a tad chilly, it wasn't the bitter cold that we've had in the past where winter parkas, scarves and hats are needed.
Living in a historic town with old victorian homes makes the trick-r-treating experience that much more fun. Sure we could have gone in our neighborhood filled with new houses and acre lots, but with little kids, the houses that sit downtown are perfect because their closer together and you can cover more ground in less time.
Translation; the kids can get more candy at more houses than we probably could have in our neighborhood,
translation; Jason and I get more candy. Sure there were also hundreds of kids and parents dressed up but that's the fun of it. Among the hundreds of costumes, I didn't see any other SWAT team member or a bear as cute and cuddly as Zander.
The other perk to going trick-r-treating downtown is the parents also get some treats for themselves; hot cider, beer, jello shots, spiked hot chocolate! Now that's my kind of trick-r-treating!
