Colombia, its rather wet.

Do the women look like Sofia Vergara?

And is the blow all it's cracked up to be?

My family has a snow thrower. Expect temps in New England and possibly the whole US east coast to be in the 70's all winter long.

Trunk or treating with the girls was fun. They get to bust out their Elsa and Anna costumes for more than just one day and a lot of people actually put some serious effort into decorating their trunks. One guy put a sheet of plywood over the back of his pickup to make a tiny haunted house the kids had to crawl through to get the candy. I'd encourage those for people here with kids. (Is it just Mikey?)

From getting my first car, to college, to fatherhood I've never been one to limit myself to a single Halloween party/activity.

It's based on trick or treating, and is usually done by some group where the members aren't just next door to each other, like a school, church, or rural area.

Everyone drives into a large parking lot which is then cordoned off and pop the backs of their cars, SUVs, and vans. The vehicles are decorated inside with the space in an SUV allowing for quite a lot, the entire vehicle might be decorated or stuff might be set up around it, and the adults might be in costume or might be playing music.

The kids, in costume, then go trick or treating up and down the vehicles in the parking lot. If there is an associated building there might be some crafts, games, or in this case a pumpkin shaped bouncy castle for the kids, which also gives the adults some time to hang out with each other.

That's actually a great idea for areas where geography or zoning don't allow for a relatively compact neighborhood area for kids to go door-to-door.

For the record, in my town we usually don't trick-or-treat on Halloween, as that's reserved for our town's Halloween parade which is generally the largest in the state.

It'd be fine with me, too. *Waves stick at Old Man Winter*

How does that work? Or is it that they trick or treat on a different night, and Halloween evening is when the parade takes place. It strikes me as odd to have an evening parade, but I guess if you bust out enough lights it could be fun.

That's it exactly - the parade is usually on Halloween evening, and trick-or-treating occurs on the 30th. This year, the moved the parade up and trick-or-treating is taking place normally.
