I think we will have to tone it down a bit next Halloween. Our animatronics had younger kids in tears. Our jumping spider was the biggest culprit, because that's the first thing to get passed, and then everything else gets triggered, our swinging girl and our grave keeper.
It was funny, but wasn't. Trevor got a kick out of how many children and adults were frightened, but when kids didn't want to come to our door, I'd have to walk all the way out to the walkway to give them candy, triggering the animatronics once again.
The best surprise of all was that our godson Shawn came to visit and trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. We stopped passing out candy, and let my sister take over, so we could find Shawn and his dad and walk with them on our first Halloween being godparents. I had fun.
It reminded me of when I used to take my own children Trick-or-Treating, when they were little.
