Pumpkin Walk

A few years ago, one of our children went on a field trip to Logan to the pumpkin walk. They kept going on and on about it. We decided we would go one night for Family Home Evening. We had such a great time we have tried to go every year (they only hold it a couple days in October, so we don't always make it).
The pumpkin walk is volunteers or groups of volunteers who make their scenes out of pumpkins or gourds of some sort...it is amazing what some come up with...check out our "walk". Remember that the majority of the scenes are made with painted pumpkins...

The walk started with M&M's...in every scene there was a pumpkin painted like an M&M...Joran took the responsibility of finding it!

Geoffrey from Toys R Us

California Raisins

Band-aid commercial... our little ones found this hilarious :)

This was a day care, but the painting on the face amazed us!

C3PO, Yoda, R2D2

Our favorite...Yoda...

The hamburgler...so sad, my kids didn't know who this was
