pumpkin walk

yesterday we went to the pumpkin walk. the pumpkin walk is a fall tradition in north logan. ethan and i have been going since we were first married. it feels like every year we go we add another kid . . .

the pumpkin walk is a lot of fun. anyone can be involved. there is a different theme every year and each group involved makes a display based on that theme. they use all sorts of squash and other things to make up their scene. some people are quite creative. here are some of our favorites (you may need to click on some of the pictures to really see what's going on):

in this scene they used pumpkins to create an entire garden.


a clever turkey


the adult ducks are made of gourds (and i love the frogs in the background).


i love these sunflowers!



hudson found this scene depicting "where the wild things are" interesting, but i could not get him to stand by the pumpkins by himself for a picture. i guess the characters were just a little too weird for him to want them behind him.


the kiddy crew.

there were a few other scenes we really liked. there was one where they made sheep out pumpkins (for the head) and tumbleweeds (for the body). that was fun. in another scene they made cows out of hay with pumpkins for the head and udder. pretty creative.

i feel like this post is a little difficult to read. sorry if my writing isn't very good. my brain doesn't work too good right now. i'm really tired right now. maybe i should go take a nap while the kids are sleeping.
