Pumpkin Walk

The girls had been wanting to go down to the Pumpkin Walk in Shelley, so even though the weather was FREEZING, we braved the cold and took a very brisk walk through the Pumpkin Walk! Back story . . . a friend of mine told me last year about this little Pumpkin Walk in Shelley that uses pumpkins and other fall vegetables in fun little vignettes depicting various scenes that children would recognize and enjoy. Evidently the idea behind this is to give children something fun to enjoy at Halloween time that is not haunted or scary! Anyway the girls loved it last year and wanted to go back again this year! Even though it was VERY cold, it was totally worth going, the kids loved seeing all the little scenes! There aren't a lot of pictures because we didn't stop much, way too cold, but trust me it was so cute!
We were seriously bundled up! BRRRRR! Here are the girls in front of the Three Little Pigs scene! In each of the windows is a pumpkin painted pink and made into a pig! Super cute!
Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head made out a pumpkin and some sort of squash. So clever!
These little pumpkins were made into porcupines! Hilarious!
This was their favorite scene of all, Charlotte's Web, it was really cute! There was not a single detail left out, it was done so well! We spent the most time at this scene taking it all in - really super cute!
Here is an up close shot of Fern, Wilbur and Templeton!
Here is a shot of the horse, the geese, the sheep and a farm hand! ADORABLE!!
Here is the rest of the Charlotte's Web scene, cows, turkey and Mr. Zuckerman! This must have been a ton of work! We loved it! Hopefully they will do this Pumpkin Walk for many years to come, it is such a fun fall activity!

This looks adorable..and it makes me realize I need to get all of these classic books to read to Jason before we go to a place like this. Again...which one/where in Shelley is this. Too cute.

Love it! I hate the gory stuff about Halloween and LOVED this idea! (Leave it to good old Shelley :0) Super fun!
