Prepping For Halloween.
We're working on getting in the spirit for Halloween here in Sparling Country, and to help prep, we checked out a very cool jack o'lantern exhibit here in Fairfield County. The layout was impressive - there were a few hundred jack o'lanterns on display, and they ranged from simple to simply amazing.

There were dinosaurs etched into the sides of these massive pumpkins. Political pumpkins. A little Beatles action. And each new pumpkin patch was accompanied by a specially selected musical track.
Taking pictures was tough because it was so dark and I don't have a tripod, but we were able to catch a few pumpkins with clarity. This one, with King Neptune on it, was very, very cool.


The experience was amazing, and definitely has us ready for Friday. Full photo set on Flickr, but be prepared - some of them are wicked blurry. I'm getting ready for my Snickers bar - ahem, Bennet - are you?!

Cool pics! Is this at the Maritime Museum? We are off with the kids tomorrow night, for some pumpkin display. Maybe the same? Some are pretty impressive, but might be lost on my 19 month old!
