Grandpa's Pumpkin Party 2012

On October 20, 2012, Grandpa Paul had his annual "Pumpkin Party" in Levan.  It is always a fun event for all of the grand kids.  We all look forward to it every fall!
 
First, we go out into Grandpa's pumpkin patch and choose some pumpkins.
 Choosing a pumpkin.
 Kendrick may have found one.
 Then another one.
 Oh, but I like this one too.
 Kendrick had a great time!
 He just loved walking around in the pumpkin patch.
 Looking at the new kittens.
 Putting all of the pumpkins in the back of Grandpa's truck.
 All of the kids want to ride back there too.
 We tried to get a pic - but it's a hard task to get them to all look at the same time!
 One with Grandpa and Keaton.
 Charlie, Paula, me, Mom, Dad, Amy, and Emilee.  All of my siblings and parents, minus Annie.  She was on a cruise--lucky!
 Kendrick and Katie checking out the kittens.
 
We all headed into the garage to carve and decorate our pumpkins.  All of a sudden, our annual visitor arrived.  "The Hobo"!  Kendrick was terrified!
 Kendrick's face as he saw the Hobo!
 The Hobo just wanted to give us all a scare--and a treat!
 Some of the kids just look away!

 Dad and Kendrick carving a pumpkin.
 More carving.
 Are they twins or what?
 Then Kendrick decided to paint a pumpkin too.
 He was loving the yellow paint.
 We later added some black stripes and made it into a "bee".

 Making "witches brew".
 Paula's fun tradition--the kids love it!
Kendrick even wanted to try it!
 
The party was fun as always and we had a good time.  Thanks to my mom and dad for starting this fun tradition with all of the grand kids.  We love it!
