Tater Tales: First Halloween

"Roar"

Yesterday Tate had his first Trick-or-Treating experience. They do it two nights here, one city one night, and the city next door the next day. I would have definitely cashed in on the candy when I was growing up! We decided it must be for security purposes...  Anyway... we were outside for 30 minutes and visited 6, maybe 7 houses. We were cruising! The dogs we saw, the freedom of no stroller, children everywhere to follow, and the cool decorations were the highlights of Halloween. The candy was pretty cool, but after being denied the opportunity to inspect every piece after each house it lost its appeal. One lady even gave out raisins just for the little tikes!  Tate even got to ride in his new car seat and loved being able to see out the window; he didn't utter a single complaint the whole car ride long. After trick-or-treating he was ecstatic to be given the opportunity to eat some smarties. He devoured the whole package (don't worry he brushed his teeth later). Next year I'm sure will be a whole new ball game, but we had a lot of fun! Maybe we will even go again tonight!
