If I had any doubts before, I certainly do not now. Those kids are TOUGH! As soon as it was time to go tick or treating they grabbed their goodie bags and umbrellas, and marched right out into the downpour. It was not a little drizzle either. That rain was coming down hard, but by how the kids were acting you would have thought it was a warm fall night. We did the full route and the kids came back with bags of candy filled to the top. The bags were filled with water as well which made them twice as heavy, so when my babies asked me if they could have some candy, I told them to eat as much as they liked. They earned it.
