Kids, parents were a real treat this year

I live in Madison-Beverly Lake area of Everett and am normally not a big fan of Halloween. However, this year I must applaud the kids who came to my house trick-or-treating, as well as their parents. This was the most well behaved trick or treaters that I have seen in many years. There were about 35 kids this year and I must say that each and every one said “thank you” and many of them wished me a Happy Halloween. I just thought this worthy of mention.
