Halloween in the Deep South

John actually went trick-or-treating three times on Halloween.
Once at Southern Wesleyan University, with his daycare. I actually pulled the wagon with John the Bear (or lamb, everyone thought he was a lamb) and Meghan the cheerleader. All the ladies in the admissions office, library, and other business offices cooed over the "one's" (1-yr-olds).

Then John and I went to the downtown Clemson festivities. The police closed down the main street to traffic and all the store clerks sat in front of the businesses giving out candy. It was crowded. This is where John had his picture taken on the tractor.

Then Tony took John in our wagon to selected houses in the neighborhood. Our neighborhood isn't quite the best for trick-or-treating: no sidewalks, very dark, lots of hills, and twisty, dead end streets. But they hit all our friends houses. I handed out cookie and goldfish cracker packets. I think I had 5 or 6 groups total.

We didn't give John candy, but he did manage to get a little sugar and chocolate by chewing and sucking through the packages on a couple of treats. All in all, a successful start to the holiday season!
