The children had a blast, all dressed up in costume. Different adults took the children out to do their Trick or Treat rounds, the first group with all the various ages with Christina and Sebastian and later just the older kids with Andrew. In the middle they ate some soup or just chocolate and candy but no matter, the children were happy, and very well behaved.
It was a lovely event with neighbors stopping by for dinner and a drink along with friends from church as well as other relatives. Ken and I were able to meet more Jackson folks, which we enjoyed. The food and the hot toddies were in the kitchen so at any time the house was full of people as was the large porch.
The weather was perfect, not too hot or not too cold so we were able to sit on the porch comfortably and watch the hundreds of children collect their candy. The host John has the policy of giving two pieces of candy to each child unless they are over 12. He then gives them a pencil. Some older kids are happy to get a pencil while others are not so pleased. It's a good policy. It was a happy event for both children and adults and I felt fortunate that John and Greta Barbour invited us.
