What's wierd is that there are quite a lot of kids in the complex, but I rarely see them out playing and they obviously don't trick-or-treat.

The fruit is getting ripe later so I didn't have any to give away yet. I know some of the strip malls and shoppping centers were giving out candy and churches were having Harvest Festivals so I think parents take their kids there instead of around the neighborhood.

It was all brand new when we moved here and most of the homes were occupied by young families with little ones. Little ones that have now grown up and moved on.

One woman told me a house in their neighborhood had a cotton-candy machine last year, and gave out 1500! She said they always stock up with tons of candy. Wasn't sure how many they had this year, but a LOT!

We came home to a full bowl of candy with maybe2 -3 pieces gone. Such honest neighbor kids. One of the cutest was a girl who was taking her dog trick or treating. he was dressed up as a skunk! LOL! Very cute. He got a pupperoni.
