For this #engagetheweekend adventure, I had to share with you our trick or treat adventure. Well, it wasn't too much of an adventure, to be honest. Hattie was under the weather with a nasty cold, and with the temperatures a bit cooler than we hoped for, we kept it easy. I did get to wear the werewolf mask briefly, too.
Honestly, I was really looking forward to this year's Halloween. Last year's festivities, was, for the most part, COVID canceled like everything else. Our daughter was still a bit too young to appreciate the holiday, but still...it sucked. This year, with things back to (somewhat) normal, I was excited to take her to a few of the better-decorated houses to get some candy. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, so I knew this was the year to get Hattie on board with some serious "spook-tacular" traditions. I know, that's a lame cliche term, but whatever...
First off, as we would be away for some part of the trick-or-treat dance, we decided to leave some candy out in a bowl for youngsters to grab. My wife thought putting a note on the bowl would help; sure thing, Liza. I would guess the candy was completely gone almost instantaneously...and I was correct.
With our superhero under the weather, we took the BOB with us to make life a bit easier for everyone. On the path to my parent's house, we took a few photos of the decorations we did see.
We managed our final approach to my parent's home...

And grandma's Halloween gift of whatever this is:
It was time for some Halloween videos! You guessed it: I had purchased all of the Charlie Brown films on DVD earlier this year as I noticed the films were nearly impossible to stream. Tonight's movie magic had to include *It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."
Once Hattie finally fell asleep after a few more Halloween books read, I managed to sneak in a few Halloween beers, as seen below :
Then opted to stream some Young Frankenstein. It's been a bit since I've watched that film, but I always do enjoy it.
Not as exciting as Halloween used to be, but I made the best of it. Next year should be even better. We might even visit a few more homes next time through.
Thanks for checking out my #engagetheweekend post; happy belated Halloween to all, and I hope others enjoyed the weekend too. Until next time, have a wonderful week, as always.
