A yearly tradition at our house is to visit the Pumpkin Walk in North Logan. Sam and I started going the year I moved here and we were dating/hanging out. He took me and I loved it. Coming from NYC, I had never been to anything similar and I fell in love with the cozy, suburban feel of the little show. We go back every year and our kids love seeing the creations.
The theme this year was Commercials of Yesteryear. There were lots of great exhibits but our top two favorites were the Keebler commercial and the Green Giant. These two exhibits looked fantastic. The Keebler exhibit had two trees, made out of fabric, each leaf was sewn separately then they were attached to the tree somehow. The characters themselves looked amazing and just like their cartoon on the TV commercials.
Our next favorite, the Green Giant exhibit. The exhibit was imaginative and definitely in our opinion, the 1st prize winner.
At the very end of the show, they have the nicer carved pumpkins. This year, they had some really spectacular ones, including one of President Monson.
We ended with a couple of pictures of our little family. The kids are sure difficult to photograph...they insist on making faces, they take after their daddy!
I saw your web page and thought I'd check it out too. This looks like great fun. I've never heard of it. Guess when you live at the other end of the valley you don't know what's going on at the other end. :) Anyhow, cute page. You look like a fun mom.

That is so neat :) Now I am definitely going to have to move out your way, haha.
I love how all the vegetables were made from different pumpkins. Too clever! And what a lot of work must have gone into that tree. Both displays were fantastic!
Love pics of your cute family too. Hugs!

Looks like a super fun time! I just love pumpkins...and these are really creative! Haven't had a chance to get to our pumpkin patch yet, what with the weather, and galavanting all over the globe, lol. ;D Maybe we can fit in a trip this Saturday...before the trick or treating.
You and your daughter both have the same brilliant mega-watt smiles. :D
