Hurricane Sandy turned out not to be a real problem in this area. We did get a lot of wind and rain for several days, and lost power for a few hours, but that is nothing compared to the horrendous damage Sandy brought to many of our relatives and friends on Long Island. Even though the hurricane did not impact our Halloween celebrations in New London, the thought of so many people we love struggling definitely put a damper on it. The kids, as kids should probably be, were oblivious to anything but costumes, pumpkins, and candy, candy, candy.

Before the hurricane hit, we went to a Halloween party at the Kennedy's house, which was lots of fun for all ages. On Halloween itself, the streets were clogged with small imps and witches, and we made our way along them, house by house, as part of an entourage including 8 adults, 5 kids, two dogs, and one stroller. We didn't cover much ground, but the kids were more than happy with their haul, and they also got the traditional free ice cream at Arctic Dreams (and their photo taken there so that they can see themselves all year long on the wall). Although we didn't even attempt to hand out candy at our house (kept the lights off and everything so we could all go out together) we didn't even get egged. All treats this year for us... feeling grateful all around.
