Pumpkin Party Stuff!

Last week Saturday Aimee and I went on a hunt...a hunt for pumpkins that is! We traveled to Aloun Farms' Pumpkin Patch. It was so cute! Kids in costumes, parent with cameras, hay rides, and...white pumpkins? Yup!

Then we went back to her place where Oscar, Dawn and Derek came over to carve them. It was my first time carving a pumpkin, so I was glad both Dawn and Aimee were there to guide me along. Dawn even brought her trusty carving kit from a previous year.

The worst part was "gutting" the pumpkin. Very tedious because we separated the seeds to roast as we were going along. Then came cleaning the insides. I forgot that metal spoons worked better than hard plastic ones. Also, the carving kit tools come in handy compared to your trusty kitchen knife. Oh well, a learning experience. I'm going to kick butt on carving my next pumpkin!

Enjoy the pictures!
