Just a quick post to thank the wonderful residents of Crown Oaks in Montgomery, TX for an AWESOME Halloween. If you are looking for a family friendly neighborhood in which to raise your children, this one really takes the cake. Crown Oaks is a gated community with gorgeous homes on acreage lots and its families are "all about their children"!
My daughter and her husband chose this community in which to build their home when they 1st got married 9 years ago and have since been raising their 3 children there. It's become our family's Halloween tradition to start the day out early in the afternoon, munching on chile, tamles, hotdogs and other fallish foods. Then the kids dawn their costumes for the annual trek through the neighborhood and to the park.
Unlike other years when we rode on one of the many hayrides, this year we climbed into the bed of the pick-up with blankets and lawnchairs and crept through the streets towards the park. We passed numerous hayrides and golf carts, all festivly decorated for the event with flashing lights, goolish sounds coming from loud speakers and loaded down with kids in all sorts of attire. And it's not just the kids that get involved in dressing up as it is the scads of parents that joined in the fun.
One of the neighborhood parks was the setting for 'Trunk-R-Treating". It was awesome! Everyone joined in. Then after gathering all the candy these 3 kids could hawl, we made our way through the streets lined with homes decorated as spectacularly as they do for Christmas. So many families had set-up at the ends of their driveways with candy to give passers-by that not a stone was left unturned to make this night fun for not only little children but big kids like me. Thank you Crown Oaks for the part you played in making wonderful memories for our family. See ya next year!
