The Pumpkin House

Happy Halloween! Gotta say that before it's over!
Tonight, J.T. and I went with some friends and their daughters to "The Pumpkin House". I found a 2006 write up about it HERE which includes better pics than I can take But, never fear, I did remember my camera, so here's some pics for ya!


There were so many people, that it was really hard to try to get any pics of the house itself...it has pumpkins all around, from top to bottom. Here's one pic:


And here's the tippy top of the house...those aren't orange lights, they're lighted jack-o-lanterns:

There are bleachers of pumpkins allllll around the property. Here's one line o' pumpkins:

And another:


And a pumpkin man:




A soda jerk:



They had quite a few religious pumpkins...like Noah's Ark and all the animals:



And this section...I thought it was Jesus (or maybe Eric Clapton?) being attacked by two vampires. Which would have been pretty cool. But, I was informed that the vampires are supposed to be angels:



They had a big wall 'o pumpkins that were synchronized to music...you can see when I snapped the pic, only certain ones were lit up:




There were quite a few college teams, local teams, NFL teams, and state themes. This WV one even had a bear inside:



Another group of pumpkins. J.T. liked the Mr. Peanut guy in the middle:





They had a "cat" theme for one section. If you look toward the lower left part of the pic, though, you can see Plankton from Spongebob!


There were even pumpkins watching from the trees:



It was very neat to see. Personally, my pumpkins would have been much creepier, but that's okay :-p

Afterwards, we were treated to an ice cream stop at Wendy's. J.T. had a chocolate Frosty and I had a chocolate Frosty float with Dr. Pepper. Mmmmmm!!!
