Halloween Connecticut Style

The 2011 Crowther Trick-or-Treaters
Abby as a surgeon
Grayson as an Oxford (our town)Little League Baseball Player
Lindsey as a Cheetah
We have learned that "country livin" has it's advantages, and disadvantages. Trick or treating is tough when there are only three houses on your hill.
Solution: a chauffeured four wheeler
Once we knocked the first door and were told that trick or treating had been cancelled in our town due to the crazy snowstorm (the officials were worried about all the downed power lines and closed roads) so we took to the "city" - a local shopping center, to try our luck there…by the time we arrived, most every other kid in central CT had already been there and the pickings were slim. So we went to a friends neighborhood in another community with tons of homes close together (the only real "neighborhood" we've even seen in CT) where our kids promptly collected more candy than any other Halloween night, and it was Lindsey leading the charge from house to house.
The best part of any Halloween night;
notice Gray's attention to organization
counting up the spoils
She'll be eating this for a month
