The boys were Captain America and Ultron this year. 

     On the morning of Halloween, the boys had their soccer games as it was Saturday.  By the afternoon, they started to get excited for trick-or-treating.  We expected lots of trick-or-treaters, so we unloaded many bags of chocolates that we purchased.  We had an earlier dinner, but we did not put on their costumes until it was close to getting dark.  By 6:30pm, Logan, Connor and I were ready for our mission while Stuart stayed behind to hand out candies.  We decided to start by climbing up the hill next to us to see our upper neighbors.  Then both Logan and Connor could not wait to visit the Ricchios as they were hoping to get a big candy bar as they had last year, and they were not disappointed.  Then Logan and Connor happily led the way through the neighborhood to visit other houses.  They knew to skip those without porch lights on and they properly thanked people for the treats.  After over an hour of walking around, I suggested checking out our nearby neighbor who had set up a haunted house.  We could see a crowd of trick-a-treaters gathering at this popular spot.  Connor immediately got nervous and declared that he did not want to go inside.  Logan, on the other hand, was quite interested.  I did not really want Logan to go alone but did not want to leave Connor by himself.  So I suggested that Connor could hang with our neighbor Sam who was in charge of opening a built-in door to let the groups in one at a time.  Sam asked Connor to sit on the rocking chair next to him and Connor liked the idea.  Logan and I went in to explore and spent approximately 20 seconds walking through the looping hallways with lots of decorations.  They were moving bloody hands, scary masks, a pop-up ghost and a treasure box with dry ice.  The neighbors did a great job and it was scary enough for me; Logan kept his composure the entire way.  He was rewarded with a full size candy bar at the end.  Afterward the three of us returned home.  Logan told Stuart that he should check out the haunted house; initially Logan did not want to go in again, but with some convincing, he accompanied Stuart.  While they were out, Connor was happy to take over the task of passing out candy.  He was so excited to wait for each door bell.  He carefully gave one candy to each kid, and we went through so many groups and some had over 10 kids at a time.  By 9pm, the trick-a-treat event finally ended; it was peace and quiet on the street again.  We must have given out 13 to 14 bags of candies.  Connor claimed that passing out candies was his favorite part of the night.  The boys also enjoyed a few bites of their biggest gain; then we slowly winded down for a late night.
