Pumpkins

One of my favorite holiday traditions is carving pumpkins. I was joking with my husband about how wierd it is that we have entire fields of pumpkins that we are going to gut, cut faces in and put a candle in for a couple of days before we throw them out. What a strange way to use food. Anyway, it's a fun tradition. Uncle Sandy was the party planner this year.

Daddy was feeling this pumpkin's anxiety as he got ready to impale it.

This wasn't how I'd planned it to turn out but the first eye turned out like a cat so why not?

Here's the Ooch. She was the pumpkin planner. These pumpkins were huge.

Here's the three that got put out before it started to rain. Sorry Ooch, I didn't brave the rain again to get a picture of all four of them out there.

"The Park"

Uncle Sandy got us discounted tickets for the "Fright Fest" at Wild Waves. I thought it would be fun for the kiddos since we didn't go to the Fair this year.

The baby was getting up close and personal with this dragon. Maybe he'll be a dentist...

This was the scariest vampire I've ever seen.

This was the noisiest cat I've ever seen.

These are the cutest gouls I've ever seen.

After watching these kiddos I think they could use some driving lessons.

The Ferris wheel is always a hit.

And there were even a couple of rides the baby could ride.

Without hesitation they chose the ATV. Good choice.

This was my personal favorite. My three-year-old adores Bob The Builder and was terrified of him.

This was a fun ride. The kids watched from a distance and I screamed my head off.
