When I walked my kids around, I would put out a bowl and a cute little sign saying to take 1 or 2, or whatever. They did! Except one year, we were on our way out when I heard some boys take the whole bowl. I flew out the door, they stopped short of the end of the walkway and sheepishly put it back. I was especially surprised because we KNOW them! My sons quit going out after 8th grade, but this year DS wanted to dress up as a ghoul and have a "haunted porch", I think he missed the TorT! Sadly, it was not only cold and windy, but there was a young-kids party nearby and he looked too scary, so I had him hold off till the older kids came 'round. But by then it was misty, too, so the goblins stayed in. I I don't mind the older kids, as long as they dress up with at least a bit of effort or creativity and SAY Trick or Treat! We had two dancers about 14yrs, very sparkly. When I admired them, they said they had a dance too. It was cute, definitely earned them extra treats!

I like that one very much.Had 2 plants a ways back both bit the dust.Oh well,I can still look

At the University of Virginia they hold a big trick-or-treat event on "The Lawn" in front of the Rotunda. Students who have a dorm room right on the lawn give out candy from their room. Other groups set up a table and give out candy There are huge lines of kids slowly making their way to all of the dorms and tables Others just hang out and walk around seeing others and being seen One favorite I saw was Leia, Han, and Luke, with Chewbacca on a leash I wore a bat costume I made for a party the previous night and at the end I found a buddy.

So pretty! So many blooms and a well grown plant.
