Indoor is a complete parent cop out.
Haha you’re so intense! What do you for a living? I like your answer and not being rude. I’m genuinely curious and feel like your intensity prob serves you well in some capacity.
NP here. Is going trick or treating in the rain really considered intense? I guess it would shock you that we (& many others at the same park) just camped in a tent in the pouring rain this weekend. I think carrying an umbrella and going trick or treating in the rain is pretty standard. At least, it was when I was a kid.
Don’t you guys ever go out in the rain just to let your kids play in the puddles?
+1. If it rains, it rains. Teach your kids that life goes on. We don't resort to safe spaces (e.g. shopping malls) because of a little rain.

NP. I remember camping in a tent in the pouring rain as a child. It sucked immensely, really made me hate camping. But I can handle one night in the rain for ToTing. Just have warm clothes and their favorite soup to come home to. Cut it short when they are ready to come in, and watch Charlie Brown's show on tv.

Yes our plan is umbrellas and boots and charging on.
I don't remember any rainy Halloweens growing up, but there probably was at least one? No idea.

Do not do an indoor option. Rain gear and go. It is Halloween. Teach them to be resilient in subpar weather. Even if they only want to go to a few houses, that is fine.

Very young kids are not going to want to go in the rain. Let them enjoy.

Yup. Umbrella and poncho. And make it fun for them. Don’t complain about the weather in front of them.
