Halloween recap

We had many trick-or-treaters last night, shattering previous records. We kept track of costumes: bear, turtle, vet, Joy (from Inside Out ), just a kid (no costume), lizard, princess, T. Rex skeleton, witch, cheerleader. And then a group of ten teenagers arrived, by which point Elaine was off playing in a pit (orchestra, not snake) and I wasn’t about to inventory ten costumes in the dark.

Number of trick-or-treaters, number of treats, number of leftovers:

2022: 9, 18, 22 (Reese’s Cups)
2023: 6, 14, 22 (Milky Way)
2024: 20, 31, 19 (Milky Way, Three Musketeers)
Some of the younger visitors this year took just one item from the plastic pumpkin. Maybe they were following orders that had been given in advance.
