Because of Connecticut's massive Halloween storm, the holiday was literally cancelled. Mayors across the state announced that children shouldn't go trick-or-treating due to the downed trees and power lines. Besides, no one had power anyway, so it would have been near impossible to navigate houses for candy! When our power went out we had to cancel the Halloween party we had scheduled, which meant Lucas didn't get to wear his costume, eat pumpkin cupcakes, or play with his friends.
Still, we made the best of it. The few areas that did have power welcomed a few trick-or-treaters. One of those areas was at Lucas' Grandma and Grandpa Kozbinski. We stayed with them for a week, and took Lucas to a few homes in their area.
We were invited inside to see this elaborate train and village in the neighbor's basement. It was so detailed - the homes had people inside; the businesses were stocked with goods; and airplane flew overhead; kids skated on ponds; there was even a ski slope with people going up and down it! We enjoyed the display as much as Lucas
It was Lucas' first time trick-or-treating. He caught on very quickly! He ended his night trick-or-treating at Grandpa's house!
Although Halloween was officially cancelled by authorities, we think it was still a success!
