Pumpkin Trail

The Pumpkin Trail is yet another reason I love Lubbock!  Last year, the Garden and Arts Center held the very first Pumpkin Trail at the Arboretum.  Different groups, businesses and individuals carve thousands of pumpkins that are then placed on the walking trail at the Arboretum.  My mom and our good friend Debbie took the kids last year while Zach and I went on a date.  The kids had such a great time, so Zach and I really wanted to go this year!  I must mention that we went on the last night, so some of the pumpkins aren't as "fresh" as they once were.  Thanks to Debbie and Yommy for sharing the fun again this year!
 

Scarecrows and twinkly lights welcomed us in...

Dia De Los Muertos - These were my favorites!

The Arboretum has a new entrance with a gazebo and several garden-themed areas.  The kids really loved these "pumpkin - gardners".

 Jackson's fav
 (We had a busy Sunday, so we were still decked out from his game.)

 Kendall's fav (Although she refused to look at the camera)

 If Jackson had his druthers, he would have taken his picture with each of the 1,200 pumpkins on the trail.  Unfortunately, there were large families in front of and behind us so we had to be really quick taking pics along the way.

 Jackson liked the fish, Kendall not-so-much!

 Girl Scout Pumpkins

 Jackson said, "Mom, I have to have my picture taken with this one.  Don't you see - it's a cross.  How can you say no to a picture with the cross pumpkin?" 
So really, how could I say no...

And they all lived happily ever after...
