Halloween was fun. This year I helped out with the extreme quad jump
ride at the church. Basically it is a huge inner tube that the kids jump
on while they are strapped to bungee cords 20 feet high. The inner tubes
are very springy and the kids can fly 10-15 feet in the air. I wish I
rode that when I was a kid. My job was to walk them to the tubes and
tell them to take their shoes off. It was easy cause they all were
like,"no problem". Mom was telling me about one year how her and Robbie
gave away quarters for trick or treaters. They were the most popular
house on the block. This year as I was leaving my house I noticed that
only 9 out 20 houses on my block had their lights on.I think this was
the first year that the local festivals overtook normal trick or
treating. I also didn't see any common costumes like I normally do. The
only one that was double was some buzz lightyear costumes. By the way,
what does the ween mean in Halloween?
