“You guys all look scary, or cool, or whatever you’re trying to be,” Obama told the assembled trick-or-treaters. “We hope, parents, that on this day at least, you don’t have to pay attention to Michelle and healthy eating.” In festive mood, he added, “And in fact, the more candy, the later you eat the candy, the better,” said the president. “Because I think that you being up all night with a sugar rush is exactly what your parents are looking for.”

“Candy for everybody,” the first lady agreed.

Students from local schools and children from military families, dressed as superheroes and princesses were up for the occasion.

More than 4,000 people were present for trick-or-treating. But, tricks were forbidden by the Secret Service.
