Pumpkin Walk

We went to the "Pumpkin Walk" in Syracuse last night. I had heard about it last year from some people and it sounded really fun, so we thought we would go down and see all of the pumpkins! The problem was that everyone in Northern Utah had the same idea! We had to wait in a pretty long line before we actually got to the pumpkins, but it was really fun to see all of them once we got there. There were hundreds and hundreds of them!! There were all different kinds...lots of faces, some monsters, cats, and the usual Halloween stuff, and some with very random things on them like temples or video game characters or college logos. The batteries in my camera died on the first picture (bummer!), so I tried to take some with my phone. I couldn't take any pictures of the kids (no flash), but the pumpkins showed up ok. Here were some of our favorites:
I loved this one of Jack Skellington:
Tigger!
Preston liked the one with "Pi" on it....get it? Pumpkin Pi? Heee.
ANIMAL!
I liked this tower of pumpkins too:

Arden liked all the Disney ones. There was Mickey and Donald and the whole gang:

Arden had a good time, even though we didn't get finished until WAY after bedtime. Daxton slept through quite a bit, but he woke up in the middle of the pumpkins and seemed to really enjoy them. It was fun, but next year we will show up earlier and hopefully beat some of the crowd!

We are getting really excited for Halloween this week! HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

So fun. Can we come next year?! I think the kids would have fun together. What can I bring on Thurs? Do you need any help?

How fun! We've been a couple times in the past few years and it was so fun to see all the creative carvings. We were thinking about it for tonight, but then found out that it is over! :( Bummer! It was perfect weather too this year.

I can't beleive all the halloween-y things you guys have been doing lately. We're still trying to make it to a pumpkin patch. Fun pictures.

You have been doing really good at Halloween this year! We don't have pumpkins yet, but we will get them eventually.

I love the feature you have for the links on your friends and families blogs. Wondering how did you do that and can you tell me, so I can also have it in my blog. It's a great way to see who had posted recently.

Amanda said...

You have had a fun fall! Jessica mentioned you had good Halloween ideas - since I was lamenting the lack of fabulous pumpkin patches in the area. I'll try your places next year. And, I'm always glad to find a fellow blogger!
