20 hobgoblins showed up at my door tonight..

There were pirates and Spiderman and princesses and T Rex, dancers and dogs and robots.

I love to see the neighborhood kids enjoying a little slice of normal life.

Might have had more, but it started raining.

1. It was fun for me, too

It was a nice, rather old-fashioned Halloween here, mostly kids from the immediate neighborhood. Quite happy.

7. I would have been happy with just a couple..

A lot of kids in this neighborhood, very diverse by race, nationality and religioon. Glad to see them.

3. We walked the dog on a block full of Hallowers.

It was awesome. Kids everywhere.

8. Reminds me of Haddonfield..

probably because we just watched "Halloween" for about the 20th time.

4. No kids, not one Happy Halloween, knock, nor doorbell heard in my neighborhood.

No groups of excited kids running around.
Most adults here seem cautious or just plain scared.
Reddest area in North Orange County (SoCal).

9. Unfortunate for the kids to miss out..

When I was a kid, we would take big pillowcases instead of the wimpy little buckets, and keep going until we filled them.

5. It was so weird, we had over 36 trick r treaters and ran out of candy for the first time ever!

8 houses on our street decorated, including us and we really attracted the crowds. The kids were so adorable!

On the street behind ours, our neighbors did a haunted backyard and they did an amazing job - we were shocked! There were 4 separate rooms plus long entrance and exit - 5 people popping out, 3 hidden monsters, a giant purple sparkly "alien", lots of colored smoke and spooky effects. Wow!! The only downside was our elderly Aussie was up barking like a maniac all night and is exhausted today. Otherwise, this is by far the best Haloween we've had since we moved to Jax 38 years ago.

10. Nice!

What a great Halloween story. And the kids are adorable and hilarious. The best one was a luttle pirate about 2 feet tall. I gave him two candy bars.
