On A Cold Dark Night...This Little Piggy Still Went Out

In a land where TRUNK-or-treat has become the popular go to for those questing to find a limitless supply of sugar and fun, it is hard to find a good place for that good ol-fashioned door-to-door (work for the goods) trick-or-treating. This year the search took us up to Pleasant Grove where Aaron and Kristi's neighborhood still awaited the coming of the little beasts and monsters at their homes instead of from the back of their car in some church parking lot. Madison got all dressed up without the foreknowledge of what was to come.

As a little pig, Madi met up with her cousins Avery and Mckenna, and Jack (Aaron and Kristi's new puppy), Kristi, and Gill. We all took to the streets, in search of the Sweet goodness that Halloween is known to provide. Still, Madison was not too sure of what was going on...until we got to the first house. Upon knocking on the door, hearing Avery and Mckenna shout "trick-or-treat," and receiving the latter, she got super excited. It took a few houses for her to catch on, but when she realized how bounteous the payout was she got very enthusiastic about going from house to house in search of more candy. By the end of the first street she was running to the door and yelling "candy treat!" as soon as the door would open.

As she started to tire out and slow down, Gill became her personal transportation device, carrying her from door to door. Madison sure loved getting more candy with less work! All-in-all, Madison ended up tick-or-treating for about 3 hours and took home about half of a shopping bag full of treats. The sheer volume of candy was not just from trick-or-treating houses alone, but due to the fact that she was dressed as a pig, many people thought that she needed more candy, and she was more than obliged to accept! Overall it was a very fun and tiring Halloween and Madison definetly has a sugar supply to last for months...
