Amen to that! Of the 15 featured people, only 4 of them were kids.

Are these all of the pictures that were taken? There were so many creative costumes--someone was dressed as a Christmas tree with lights and the legs and feet were Christmas packages; a little one was in a bubble bath made of white balloons; another little one was dressed as a lobster and in a pot; and two brothers were the cutest robots! It was a beautiful night and everyone was having a great time! I love to see that kind of news!

Pretty crappy gallery! There were thousands of people downtown and you only took 8 pictures?

Typical ljworld. It takes 10 minutes to snap and upload 50 photos and this is the best you could do?

maybe while everyone was worried about running out of candy, they ran out of film for the camera

I don't know if these are pictures ljw took or what others submitted but there should be more photos with kids. The down town trick or treating is for them. I don't have a problem with parents dressing up. I think that's just another fun family activity and it can be good for the kids to have their parents get into the spirit of things. I don't think adults should have been trying to score candy.
I would hope there are more pictures of kids showing up soon.

Maybe taking random pics of little kids and posting them on the LJW website is a little creepy so they stuck with the adults.
