Pumpkins...A Picture Story.

Some things are certain in this life. A few of those things would be death, taxes, lucky lilacs, gingerbread houses and pumpkins. Now if you live outside this clan of aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers, cousins and such you will certainly wonder what the last THREE are....

But, be patient. they will be explained. we will start with pumpkins and follow in the appropriate season. every fall for PUMPKINS, 100's (well it certainly SEEMS like 100's) gather from the far reaches of the Salt Lake valley (and Idaho) to unite for the ritual better known as PUMPKIN CARVING to the general public. the last sunday before Halloween Aunt Penny girds up her loins, cleans her already spotless house and allows every living relative within a 100 mile radius to invade her home for food, carving and general chaos. it usually ends well....i will let my photo's tell the story. we only had one "accident" (the death of our small pumpkin who broke when Olivia dropped him on the ground) and we HAD TO go to a cemetary afterwards to take pictures with our pumpkins....CREEPY!?? (not!)

enjoy!

THE END!!!
