I had prepped Camden about what to expect for the past few days, but I wasn't entirely sure what he absorbed beyond "dressing like a doggy", "candy", "outside", and "friends". Due to his slow-to-warm-up temperament, I had fully prepared myself to be Camden's candy collector myself; I had my doubts that he'd willingly approach strangers' doors and take candy from them. I was pleasantly surprised that my assumptions were wrong-- Camden trick-or-treated like an old pro. Like his mama, there's not much he wouldn't do for some chocolate.
Ready to see what this trick-or-treating stuff is all about.
First, I've gotta humor my parents with the obligatory photo shoot...
Camden was keeping a suspicious eye on the kids approaching in costume.
We met up with Camden's BFF/cousin, Will, who was dressed as a dinsosaur? Or dragon? Either way, they shared a quick kiss before hitting the streets.
Again, surprising me with his lack of stranger anxiety, Camden tried to sneak into this man's house.
Nan came out for trick-or-treating too.
They walked hand in hand for a long while. Adorable. PS- See Camden's gloves? I talked him into wearing those by telling him they were socks for his hands. This morning, he woke up, took his socks off his feet, and stuck them right on his hands.
Post trick-or-treating: Camden eating a lollipop while also signing to me that he'd like to go back outside. He'd like trick-or-treating to be a nightly event. I'm not so sure how our neighbors would feel about that.
Overall? It was a fun and successful Halloween. Although, I won't complain if it's just a tiny bit warmer and drier next year.

It was a great Halloween despite the nasty weather. So glad Camden enjoyed it. I was amazed at how he walked up to so many strangers.
It was a great night! Camden can come trick or treat at our house any night (or invite himself to play).
Tricia (aka, my spammer)- You know Camden will take you up on inviting himself to play at your house. He tries to head that way every time we're outside. :)
