I think for the first time ever I did this. I don't think I missed anything this year but it was so cool to see the kids in costumes bit it was a different time. Most of the kids who came to the door had no costume and were older high school kids cruising for candy.
I get why dads go trick or treating early with their little children. No rational parent would send them out after dark anymore. I almost threw a caveat in their, at the end, to say that maybe on military posts. Not after Bright Star when I worked at the Joint Ops Center at Cairo West, No no.
I USED to take great pleasure in handing out candy in the way-wayback; the little kids in their costumes were just sooo danged cute. But, as you say, different times.
I picked mine, too. ;-)
