After getting your ghost, goblin, or princess into their costume it's time to head out into the city to visit local bars, restaurants, and shops of all types. They each have a big bucket of treats and they happily greet the kids. It is one the greatest marketing plots of all time not to mention they can write of the candy as a business expense. Not to mention it takes away the creepy factor of what will happen at each unknown house.
Once the kids have their fill of candy its time to head off to the Halloween parade! Not the one that you saw on Yahoo on November 1st but a true family parade. All of the kids are encouraged to participate and the firemen pass out candy!
As a parent, the best part was that we got to go as a family. We didn't have to split up to greet trick or treaters coming to the apartment. Instead everyone takes to the streets. Just another joy of living in a building!
Another great surprise!
