Yesterday, Danny and I bought some pumpkins so we could carve them and display our artwork for Halloween tomorrow! We had a fun time gutting them (not my fave) and carving them.

When we bought the pumpkins, we forgot to get a light to go in them, but because we live technically 'on-campus', they University doesn't like us using candles...so we had to go to Wal-Mart and see if they had any battery lights. The pickings were slim at the store, but we were able to find battery operated LED lights...that flash different colors. So they look pretty rockin' at night :) We also baked/roasted our pumpkin seeds, which we've never done before. They didn't turn out great, a little over done, but hopefully we'll get it right next year :)
Earlier this week, we went to a pumpkin walk that was in North Logan. It's a pretty big deal up here. Danny read that an estimated 30,000 people visit this pumpkin walk during the 5 days it's open. We went on Monday and had to wait in line for a bit before we even got to see any, but when we did, they were cool!

Then, last week, we went up Logan Canyon to take a look at the pretty leaves!
So pretty! Then, two Saturdays ago, we went to this pumpkin launch, which is also pretty legit. They fire these pumpkins out of these huge barrels and aim them at cars. Then, they lift up the barrels and shoot them as far as they can.
And here is a compilation of all of the fun smashes we saw at the pumpkin launch :)
Wow, we need to move to Logan. I've heard about the pumpkin walk but didn't know they had pumpkin launching! Dave used to watch a show every Fall about pumpkin launching contests around the United States. Cute post!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys are right in the swing of fall! The pumpkins look great. Josh made fun of me because I thought that the "G" was for Grantsville! Also, I like the pumpkin video. Did you edit that yourself? I wouldn't even know where to begin!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys had such a fun fall! Thanks for letting us come trick or treat at your work. I know that Cannon had a fun time getting lots of candy. :)
