My kids are 4, 9 and 11 - I _took_ them around the neighborhood.  Neenah is
pretty small town in a lot of ways - I spent a lot of time on the curb or at
the neighbor's porch, chit-chatting with the other moms and dads.  Then the
wife and I went to Green Bay for a Samhain get-together at a friend's house.

In year's past the party was at our house; trick or treating was limited
when I lived in Texas - the average distance between houses there was 3
miles ....
