I do remember that anxiety when I took the kids out, even in our safe neighborhood where I had known people for many years. It does seem odd that the family would take them to a vacant, creepy, black house. If I didn't know who lived there, we didn't go.

By the end of the second paragraph where you gave the address, I knew that some sort of ghoul would be there and the kids would be found dead or something similar. That's why I had the father hesitate and only give in after the kids kept pestering him to approach the hosue. I would never do that myself. I was more worried that i did not give enough description to the characters but I was hoping that if I kept it vague the reader could put themselves in the shoes of hte character.
