Logan Pumpkin Walk

The Logan Pumpkin Walk is one of my all time favorite Halloween traditions. We haven't always been able to go to it, but I sure love it when we do. We lucked out this year because we were already in Logan one of the days it was going and we didn't even plan it that way! We met up with my sister Michelle and her husband Tyler and headed to the Pumpkin Walk

We had so much fun with these two!
Palmer and Lincoln wanted a picture in front of the "Angry Birds" pumpkin display.
This Pumpkin Walk is so fun. There are scenes everywhere made mostly from pumpkins (and squash). I am always so impressed what they use to get their end products.
"Nightmare Before Christmas". Hunter finally decided that this was the picture he wanted to be in (they choose a few scenes that are their favorite to get a picture in front of).
"Despicable Me." This was one of my favorites.
There is a guy that does some AMAZING scenes at this pumpkin walk. I think he has been doing it for a long time (I think it is the same guy...). Last year he did the "Polar Express." This year it was "Gilligan's Island." I totally loved that show when I was little (and I had a crush on the Professor...)
I love that Tigger's tail is made of little pumpkins. So creative!
This was a little stream running from the top pumpkin's mouth. I think this event gets better every year.
One of the favorites, "Tangled".

The end of the walk is a barn that usually has something great in it. This year it was "A Christmas Story."
This witch was in the barn and letting people take pictures with her. Palmer and Lincoln were a little too nervous about her, but Hunter walked right up with a huge smile and sat for his picture.
The fam (Palmer was still feeling like the witch was a little too close).
These were pretty amazing too. They were carved as cartoons. Most of them were vintage cartoons, but I was impressed that my boys pretty much knew who they all were.
And of course you HAVE to take a few pictures with the fun pictures.


After the Pumpkin Walk we headed to find somewhere for hot chocolate (a must) and to our surprise discovered that there was a Kneaders in Logan! It just happened to be their first day open and it definitely hit the spot.
We bought their gourmet hot chocolate and then a whole bunch of treats to share including pumpkin cheesecake, caramel apples and this little guy above that was a gingerbread mummy. It was the BEST gingerbread I have ever had!




We had such a good time. I was sad when we moved away from Logan because autumn time in Logan is the BEST in my opinion. I am glad that we get to experience a little taste of it still once a year :)
