Hilda and I have lived in Duck for almost 21 years, and we have yet to have a trick-or-treater come to our house, so Duck didn't seem like a feasible neighborhood for Phoenix's first trick-or-treat experience. Sean & Jantapon's neighborhood isn't really much of a walking neighborhood, either, so it was decided by the higher powers that we would all go to Jenni's house in Manteo for Halloween. She lives in a nice neighborhood of homes with porches and streetlights and lots of animals and kids, so it was a logical choice.
We arrived at Jenni's house around 6:00 yesterday evening. Hilda and I stopped on the way and picked up a couple of Pizzas for a quick dinner while waiting for the doorbell to start ringing. Phoenix went out trick-or-treating, accompanied by the entire entourage, to three close neighbor houses, and he was delighted with the treats he got. Not that he will be allowed to eat any of the candy, but he really enjoyed playing with it.
The turnout was not as big as we expected, but we did be quite a few, mostly young and cute, so we had a lot of fun watching them come to the door. Overall, it seems that Halloween was pretty calm on the Outer Banks this year.
