Are you trick or treating with your grandkids this Halloween? It’s a fun tradition for everyone. Keep in mind these safety rules:

• You or some other responsible adult needs to go along, even if it means staying in the background.

• It’s best if you stay in the grandkid’s neighborhood – it’s familiar territory.

• If the streets aren’t lighted, take a flashlight.

• Double check to make sure costumes won’t lead to tripping.

• Make sure masks don’t block the child’s ability to see traffic and other obstacles. Face painting makes a good alternative.

• Sticks, swords, canes and the like are best left at home since they can cause injury in all the excitement.

• Set limits on how much candy can be consumed BEFORE you go trick or treating.

Take your camera, and be sure and have fun!
