Back to Halloween, one of our families favorite holidays. I remember running around the neighborhood on Halloween, like it was yesterday. We would be out until 10:00 pm, not with a bag, but a pillow case full of candy. Those were fun times! I used to love it when people would say I had to do a trick before the treat and I would do a cartwheel or handstand for the candy. People would love the gymnastic stunts and I would usually 'bank'!

I remember a few years ago I got to go with the kids here in my neighborhood and we had a blast! That is one thing that's nice about living in Golden, Colorado, it's more like a small town and you don't have to worry so much about weirdos. We took the kids out for several hours and my son-in-law, (at the time) decided to take them up to the houses (practically mansions) up on the north mesa. The kids 'banked' like I did as a kid. The people were handing out normal sized chocolate bars and big amounts of candy. The kids were so excited! I think they still had candy left when Halloween came back around the next year!
I really enjoy seeing their excitement on Halloween and Christmas. I hope that Halloween never goes away so all generations can enjoy dressing up as monsters, or princesses and go out at night for a fun time of trick or treat.
This year my daughter's ex has the kids so I miss out, but I am still happy that this tradition has not died and they will have the time of their life on Wednesday.
Next month is my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, and at least I get to share this one with the whole family. I am looking forward to it!
Until next time, I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween and I will be back here on my blog Thursday!
Take care, Lisa
I'm glad you posted for Halloween as I did not. Oh, the horror!
