The Great Pumpkin Adventure

The Great Pumpkin Adventure started with picking the right pumpkin. As you can see from the picture below, we didn't have much of a selection to choose from. However, we did find just the right pumpkin for everyone in the Wiffler household. Seriously though, this is the biggest pumpkin patch that I have even seen and it was just a couple of miles from our house.
Michael's criteria for the perfect pumpkin...it had to be orange and it had to be the right height to sit on (like a horse).The Great Pumpkin Adventure got into full swing with the carving. Josh led the efforts to clean out the pumpkins. Natalie and I focused on the carving. Natalie was extremely precise. Michael provided us with morale support.
The pumpkins found their home on our front steps. Lots of excitement surrounded the first night of lighting the pumpkins. On the night of Hallow's eve, the pumpkins led the entrance to the house where there was a big ferocious lion and a wicked - but friendly - witch. The lion and the witch teamed together to conquer the neighborhood and gather mounds of candy.

The End.
