Canyon definitely approved. I think we will make this one into a tradition.We also made Halloween cupcakes for some family members and neighbors. Canyon had a blast making them.
Our finished product. This is about as crafty as I get.
This year we had a pumpkin hunt. We didn't mean to have one but it turned into quite the task finding good pumpkins. We usually go to Verd's but they closed early for the season. So we went to a family owned pumpkin patch in Orem-but they were all out. We ventured to Harmons but their pumpkins were too expensive and were covered with pumpkin warts. Next we tried Macey's but the pumpkins their were so massive! Finally we went to Smith's. (5th times the charm) Their pumpkins were just right :)
This year we went to the pumpkin walk at Centennial Gardens in Orem. People entered pumpkins that they carved and they were displayed throughout the garden. The best part was there was they had free donuts and apple cider at the end.
This was Canyon's favorite pumpkin.
This was Daniel's.
and this little active orange pumpkin was mine :)
Another fun activity we did was go to a haunted house. There is a house in our neighborhood that loves Halloween and each year they put on a little haunted house. They don't grow grass on half of their yard all year in preparation for Halloween. Every year they have something jump out and scare you. This year they had a vulture fly down at you from the living room window. I thought Canyon might be a little to young but he loved it! He still asks if we can go see the scary house.
Spooky!!
We also carved our pumpkins. Canyon was very concerned when we pulled out the pumpkin guts. We also have a tradition of cleaning the seeds, cooking them, and then eating them. YUM!
Oakley did NOT like carving pumpkins.
Our finished product. The first pumpkin is a vampire biting a lady, then an evil baby pumpkin with a binki, and Daniel's skeleton master piece that he installed with a strobe light.
Finally Halloween Day came. We had two really cute Disney characters.......Hint: Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me?
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
(Doesn't this picture make you want to die of a cuteness overload. Seriously!!!)
And my little Nemo :)
We went Trick or Treating at Macey's and got to decorate pumpkins cookies and drank free homemade root beer. We also attempted to go to the ward trunk or treat...which was over too quickly and we were a little late. Luckily a friend from the ward saw Canyon, Oakley and I walking home and filled up Canyon's basket with candy. We went trick or treating to the grandparents and had a very fun Halloween.
