Pumpkin Festival


This year Jeffrey and I entered the Pumpkin Festival at the Penn State Arboretum.  We went on Sunday to pick it up it was hard to decide which one to choose!  Jeffrey tried to pick some really big ones up, but they were heavy!  Jeffrey drew the design for his pumpkin and I carved it for him.  It was hard work this year, the pumpkin was very thick.

When we brought our pumpkin to the Arboretum we got a  certificate for free ice cream from the creamery!  On Friday evening we went to see all the pumpkins lit up.  We really enjoyed looking at the intricate carving and seeing hundreds of carved pumpkins glowing.  There was a spooky fog near the marshy area, and the moon was out too, perfect night for pumpkin viewing!
