Every Fall, a church in our town hosts something called The Pumpkin Walk. They have a wooded area behind their church with a path in it. They line the path with carved, lit pumpkins, have some large displays and even have some hanging from the trees.
They do this for 3 nights; Thurs-Sat in the end of October. It seems to get bigger every year. We took the girls on Friday evening and that night 3500 people went through!
While waiting in the line, they had cute things set up to take pictures.
We're getting close to the entrance here. It was quite a line!
A Ruby Scarecrow!
Here we are - finally ready to start the walk.
Here's a big display near the beginning of the walk. This one was patriotic, with carvings to depict the different military branches.
So many pumpkins lining the path!
A big display of fancy designs.
The girls checking out some pumpkins.
Here's a few close-ups of some of the carvings; cupcake, candle, Michigan, unicorn, bee, motorcycle, sea horse, rooster and tractor.
It's hard to see in this photo, but this was a whole Nativity display. It says "Oh Holy Night". There were wise-men, shepherds, angels, sheep, and of course Joseph, Mary and Jesus.
The girls liked these cats.
At the end of the walk was this tent with cider and cookies. Everyone enjoyed it!
Oh we used to go to a pumpkin walk at a local park, yours looks so much better. What a nice way for a family to spend an evening.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of pumpkin carving. The girls look like they were enjoying themselves to the utmost, as usual! I bet they liked the cookies and cider tent. That would've been my favorite part. xoxo

What church hosts this event? I would love to take my grandkids next year!
ReplyDeleteThe only kind of Halloween celebration that I kind acceptable. Nice to see there aren't any evil looking pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteThose are all so cool! I can't imagine how much work it is to set up, and then to light them all every night!
ReplyDeleteThe girls talked about a lot and kept telling us their favorites. I love that you got a picture all together too!
