Being a Saturday probably helped, also the weather was nice here.

I got about 30, which is more than last year, but nothing like what I remember from years past. I used to go through four big bowls, last night I only did one.

So this year I didn't bother getting any candy because last year there was only one or two groups (and my kid did trick or treating with her mom, so I was home all night), so I figured I could just hand out cans of pop or juice boxes if the kids that did show up didn't want pop (or their parents didn't want them to have it).

I got a case of the new lemon cherry mountain dew to try earlier that day and figured I'd hand those out so the few that came would get a more interesting one, too.

Good thing I took two out of the case for my daughter and I because the rest were gone before we went out ourselves. Then gave away a bunch of the juices, too.

It was still only like 15 kids total. One of the houses around the corner from us said we were number 55 (not sure if that was groups or individuals). One place that goes all out with their decorations said it was in the hundreds for them.

Not that I'm complaining. 15 is a good number, enough that I felt like I participated but it only cost me a case of pop.
