Halloween

For Halloween, Naples closes the main street to traffic and kids are invited to trick-or-treat at the stores and restaurants. This was our second year doing this and it's great for us! There are some special things set up in the street as well.

 We took two middle school girls with us who had never been trick-or-treating before. They were excited!

 Hudson wanted to be a pirate and loved every second of dressing up and trick-or-treating. He confidently approached every person handing out candy, sometimes gave a pirate response like "arrrr matey" or "shiver me timbers" (in addition to thank you). We went early and stopped at church to learn about pumpkins on our way home. When we got home, there were lots of trick-or-treaters still in our neighborhood. Hudson really wanted to hand out his candy to some trick-or-treaters and sincerely loved giving his best candy he got to others!

Anna Kate did not want to dress up for Halloween. We suggested a few things we thought she might like (a pirate like Hudson, a cat or a princess), but she insisted she didn't want to be anything else, she wanted to stay Anna Kate Casto. :)
