Holidayroad, did you take your son trick-or-treating? Was he nice and said "Trick or treat" and "Thanks" to the neighbors and walked down their driveway?

Trick or treat was on Saturday in this area. People here tend to be ultra religious, so trick or treat on Sunday would be really frowned on. As you may guess, I don't exactly fit in here!
Here, almost no kids go door to door. It's a rural area. My stepsons and husband took my son to the park where people and businesses set up to give candy. (I stayed home to get the Halloween party ready!)
I asked my son when he got home if he said 'trick or treat' to everyone and 'thank you'. He told me he forgot to say 'trick or treat' a couple of times, but that he said 'Thank you' everytime!!! My husband said that was true. Believe me, my son knows that if he hadn't said 'Thank You', he wouldn't be going back next year!!
