Yep, he got quite a bit. Which is pretty impressive, since he can't even say "Trick or Treat!". The only things he actually says are "Mum-mum-mum!", "Da!", and "WOW!".

They didn't have curbs out west either. We discovered the hard way that curbs make young deputies bonk their head onto the back of the wagon. And this makes for a very undiginified crying fit. Hense, our Conastoga Wagon comes equipped with it's rear-impact air-bag.

In all fairness, my wife is the one that's good at the Scenario Editor. Last year I was a Continental Soldier, and she was Hermione Granger (gawd, did I feel like a dirty old man).

Trick-or-Treat yielded several hits with the neighbors.

Fortunately, KB didn't show up, so we didn't have to run back to San Francisico.

You wouldn't believe how hard it was to find a toy six-shooter. Laser blasters and M-16s abounded. But it took me about two weeks, and 6 stores to find a toy revolver. The other accountriments (hat, badge) for him were also tough.

Playing "Cowboys & Indians" is certainly no longer PC.
