Shane and I went trick or treating on the Lawn at UVA. We missed out last year, but Shane remembered the epic hall from years ago.
Shane was back on the road quick enough. There was a pep in his step. We parked at my school and walked almost 3/4 a mile. I heard no complaints.
We joined the crowd when we made it.
And boy, was it a crowd!
Shane wasn't very chatty. His mind was on one thing and one thing only: Candy.
I had to keep pulling him back as he drifted ahead in line and into others.
He ended up with a huge haul.
I overheard that the candy the students pass out is subsidized by the university. It makes sense. It also makes me a little less impressed by their generosity. At one point, I think it was student sponsored, but now it's a public relations decision by the university.
Round trip was two and a half hours of walking and standing around.....and yet Shane was ready for round 2 when we got home!
There was a lot less action on our cul-de-sac. There were only three houses with lights on when we walked down the street we connect to.
Which was fine by me. Shane had a ton of candy and I was tired. Carrie used Shane's UVA haul to pass out to trick or treaters while we were out!
We got home shortly after 7 PM. The pumpkin was our main decoration.
It turned out well!
We're all going to be snacking on candy for months to come if I don't throw some of it out.
Happy Halloween!
