Pumpkin Walk

Jenny's family had the awesome idea of having us all dress up & go in costume to the Pumpkin Walk this year. Everyone looked awesome in their Halloween wear & it was fun to show off our costumes as we enjoyed the artistic pumpkin display.



I brought Jon the grass skirt & coconuts to wear as his costume. It was a gift Jake brought back for me when he went to Hawaii when he was 18. Seth was the cutest Tigger.


The viking preparing to eat his meal.

They had M&M's hidden in each display for you to try & find.

Ummmmm............? We couldn't figure out what was going on here.

Jon didn't quite fit the grass skirt. Good thing he had on a pair of shorts underneath & he wasn't going Braveheart style.

I went as Alice but had my costume covered up cuz I was cold. I was trying to look like a fierce viking wife but I just look depressed. I guess I need more tips from Tyra.

Tigger konked out.

The sneaky bandits tried to steal the M&M's from the pumpkin displays.

The fierce pirate stoped them with his sword fighting skills.

I made Jake's costume from top to bottom except for the hat of course. It was my first time making a pair of pants & I didn't have a pattern to work from. I cut up a pair of old sweats & used them to make the pants. I was really confused & luckily Debbie was a pro & walked me through how to sew them. I still managed to sew one butt cheek in front but I was eventually able to get things right. Woot!

Jenny's costume was rockin. She was one hot pirate wench with some fierce knife fighting skills.

This display was awesome & disturbing at the same time. Double click on it & you can see the pencil in the pumpkins eye. Nice.

This was my favorite display. I was so sad Julie wasn't here this year to see it.

The displays this year were really incredible. It seems that they keep outdoing themselves each year.

I loved this peacock.

This witch seriously looked real. At first I thought it was a real person holding still to try & scare people but it was just a pumpking witch.

The bus ride was a lot of fun. The driver was cracking pirate jokes & Jon was complimented several times on his coconuts.

It was fun to have Derrick join us this year. He came without costume but new exactly what to do when he heard we were in costume. He had on a black shirt & black pants, so he put white tape on his back the said "Stage Crew."

Jeff & Desi rockin the bus.


I was busy taking pics on the bus & smacked my head really hard on a pole. Ouch!

I got this killer fur hat in an antique store when I was 20.

The sacrifical offering.

I love Jake's face in this pic.

Jon & I got excited this year about reliving the childhood memory of making rock monsters. We slaved all morning & came up with the following master pieces.

Jon: 5th Element Rock. Maren: Bug eyes Pixar rock & Purple raisin monster. Amy: Watermelon monster. Jeff: Evil eyebrow monster. Derrick: Spiked Duck.

I made the wicked witch of the west & the wicked witch of the eat. Desi was awesome & made the house to go on top of my witches legs. Jake put together a rock monster & it ended up being a great throne for my witch.

Thanks to Jenny & family for throwing such a spectacular party! We had delicious pumpkin soup cooked inside a pumkin. Yummy desserts by Desi, & Butter Beer served up by Jeff. Good times!
