PUMPKIN FESTIVAL

The owl pumpkin that was a favorite.

A busy weekend...as usual with the kids. Last night we headed to Hailey's favorite park (Washington Park) where there was a Pumpkin Festival - over 2000 (heard it was 2008, but I only confirmed over 2000) carved and lit pumpkins. This was quite a sight! I had envisioned a lot of pumpkins, but not this many. Some were very elaborate and works of art.

Brent, Hailey, Hailey's friend Sydney, and I walked around for over an hour looking at the cool pumpkins. Hailey's favorite pumpkin was the owl and a face that had weird eyeballs. Brent's favorite was the owl and Yoda. Sydney's favorite was the owl and the skull.

The park does this every year and I spoke with a volunteer. The weekend before is pumpkin carving at the park and I'm going to do that next year. I love to carve pumpkins, but since living in an apartment, I have no need to do so, so I've missed out the last couple years. The best part is, I only have to carve and they've scooped the insides out. So, next year I'll post pictures of the pumpkins I've carved.
