We had an early start with the Halloweeners this year. Most of them had come by 6.30. Usually the little ones come first then the bigger ones stop by. It was sort of reverse this year. We had a lot of 10-12 year olds come early and the little ones were spread out over the whole night. This year Simon took Ian and Miranda up to Katya’s neighbourhood to trick-or-treat. He, Jeff, and Sasha took the kids around. What a haul! They had to dump to dump the excess into a shopping bag. Made our neighbourhood look positively cheap! 😀 At 7 they finished banging on doors and everyone came back here to collect me. Then we went to Camp Barnard to enjoy the bonfire and watch the fireworks. I have to say their fireworks display was waaay better than Sooke’s Canada Day one.
The numbers for this year (and for past years) are:
- 2004 – 109
- 2005 – 82
- 2006 – 72
- 2007 – 43
- 2008 – 29
- 2009 – 36
- 2010 – 36
- 2011 – 47
- 2012 – 40
Tintin! Can I have your autograph? 😉
With the hair do & outfit you look just like Tin Tin, Ian! Miranda looks like Little Red Riding Hood too with that great cape – Good job Tammy!
You sure got a lot of stuff.
The after party sounds like it was fun, too. We had 79 kids. Most of them came between 7 & 7:30. The last ones were just after 8:30. A good night!
