Pumpkin Time

Last Saturday we carved pumpkins.  We were going to go to a pumpkin patch, but it was rainy that day, so we opted to go to a near by grocery store.  Each of the kids got to pick out their perfect pumpkin.  That evening we had family over for FAT.  They brought their pumpkins and carved them with us.

 Ocean's perfect pumpkin.

Carol grew this pumpkin herself.

Let the carving begin.

Trip did a lot of opening pumpkins and scraping guts.

Rez, Daphne, Tora, Julius and Ocean working on their pumpkins.

Good thing he has those boy scout knife skills.

Most of the kids also had a smaller pumpkin they got at the fall festival at school the day before.  Some were carved as well and some stayed whole.

Grandma and Grandpa's cinderella pumpkin.  (They are really my brother-in-law's parents, but since they are the only grandparents around, we all have claim them.)

Daphne carving her small pumpkin.

Here is another boy demonstrating his knife skills.

(I am not always the most thorough photographer.  There were several people and pumpkins here that I didn't get pictures of.  Sorry, I still love you.)
