Ours was busier than usual! I didn’t buy as much candy as I usually do because I didn’t know what to expect, and ran out a little over an hour in. My neighborhood gets lots of drive ins from other areas and it seemed like that was most of the people out there. I used a candy chute from my porch to a small table on my walk.

I have to say, after years of having all of the drive-in families and some accompanying frustrations (parking, trodding on plants, smoking, asking to use our bathroom), everyone this year was incredibly polite and grateful. I actually think it was my favorite Halloween since my kids stopped going. The kids and adults were all making efforts to be respectful and distanced, and watching adults or big sibs helping the little kids figure out the tube was really cute. It really seemed like everyone was just super grateful to be out trick or treating. And seeing everyone on their best behavior was really refreshing and a pleasant surprise.
