Treat or Treat

Today we took Clementine Trick or Treating in one of my favorite places: Fairhaven!

We got our little ladybug all ready and hit the streets. We practiced saying Trick or Treat the whole way from our house to Fairhaven but it still came out Treat or Treat!
We got there just as the Trick or Treating event began. Each year all the Fairhaven shops pass out candy or other goodies to all the little ones.


Clem was a little timid about going up to people she doesn't know but this was good practice for her! She had great manners and was so excited about her very own bucket of candy (this is really the first year she knows what candy is)!
As time wore on, more and more people showed up. The sidewalks were crammed so tight we could hardly walk! When the older kids showed up, throwing their gangly elbows in front of the wee ones to get at a tootsie roll, we knew it was time to hit the road. So Clem hitched a ride on daddy's shoulders.
It looks like we were just in time, too! As soon as we started driving she was out like a light--with her candy bucket clutched tightly, of course.
