Trick or Treating at Belvedere Market

As the boys' school does not celebrate Halloween, we were looking for some additional opportunities for the boys to get to show off their costumes.  We decided on a Trick or Treat at Belvedere Square.

It was a lot of fun and not too crowded. The store owners opened their doors with treats. 

TCBY gave the boys a gift card.

And, this shop owner, gave the boys a clove of garlic. Yes, garlic.   We assume it was a cultural thing. The boys kept asking why and we did not have an answer.  We will definitely need to research this.

Part of what helped us make our decision was the Kelly Bell Band. Jackson was all over it and when they started playing and maneuvered himself to the front of the crowd.  He was helping sing along with the Spongebob theme song despite never seeing the show.   Both of them can identify Spongebob but that is the only exposure that they have as we hope to maybe avoid it all together.

Apparently, Connor wasn't happy about the volume of the music but didn't walk away.  He definitely did dance a little.

It was a lot of fun despite the quality of treats according to our 5 year olds.
