625

Aidan the Jedi Knight and Aubrie the cowgirl force tricked and lassoed a combined total of 625 pieces of candy from unsuspecting folks in Homewood during Halloween tonight. This destroyed their previous high of 450 set in 2009.

We walked the neighborhood with Aidan's and Aubrie's friends, Sam and Suzie, as well as David, Andrew, Maurissa and Allison. While everyone but the Li's left halfway through the evening, Aidan and Aubrie powered all the way to the end -- two and a half hours in total.



Their desire for free sweets never wavered as even at the last house, they ran to the door.

Ginger and I were delighted to hear them be somewhat socially gracious, saying "hello" and "thank you" and even responding to strangers' greetings.
