Trick-or-Treating

Harrisburg has a random tradition of hosting trick-or-treating on the last Thursday in Halloween. No one is sure why this was started, but it has remained that way for many decades. So, last evening, the kids dressed up in their slightly-seen-before costumes and collected candy with the host of other kids in the neighborhood.
Joost went as a jolly pirate (you may recall parts of his costume from his 4th birthday party) and Grace went as a cow (a costume which has been worn on pervious Halloweens by her older brother). They had a fun time and collected far too much candy.
It was a fun evening to be out with our neighbors (most people sat on their porches and no doorbell ringing was required) and we enjoyed the autumn weather.
