Shining the Way to Halloween

Once again, our three-year-old grandson led the way. He loves Halloween, and while visiting him and his parents in Rochester, New York, we attended several trick-or-treat events in the greater Rochester area.

The one at the Tink Park in Henrietta, where this photo was taken, was a highlight. We had trouble keeping up with young Teddy, who was excited to see the trail of scores of candle-lit pumpkins that wound through the woods. Teddy wasn’t scared a bit.

As you can see, Teddy used his flashlight to beckon us onward. Based on his full Halloween bucket, Teddy hit several trick-or-treat stands before we walked the pumpkin gauntlet.

Little Teddy’s enthusiasm lit the way to Halloween before we had to return to Virginia.

Happy Halloween!

Sweet. I bet it was quite chilly up there! Last year we got to enjoy such shenanigans in Columbus Oh with our two grandsons. (And like I used to do, their mother discarded many of the treats they brought home after Halloween was over several months…. too much candy. I wonder how many other moms and dads do that!)
