Pumkins and Carmel Apples

     Justin and I decided that it would be fun to carve pumpkins and make Carmel apples with Leah for Family Home Evening. So, we decided that it would also be fun to invite Garrett and Jordan as well.  Of course, when you invite the boys the girlfriends are a must, so we then decided that doing it at mom's and dad's house would be better, so we invited ourselves to their home. It was with their blessing of course. Mom and dad even joined the fun.
      So, Justin and I set out to find our pumpkins to carve. We ended up at Meadow Produce here in Vernal and they had some pretty big pumpkins for a good price and so we ended up with 6 pumpkins. Justin and I picked out some for us, and Leah got to pick out her's and keyan's pumpkins. Then we were talking to Garrett on the phone and he had us pick out two more for himself and Katilynn. Leah was so excited to pick out the pumpkins. We will defently go back there next year for our pumpkins.
     So we all got to mom and dad's around 7pm and the carving began. Kayla was so nice to help Leah with her pumpkin where I was busy with the baby. She helped Leah gut her pumpkin and draw out a design and of course you could guess what Leah decided to put on her pumpkin...Mickey Mouse....her favorite thing in the whole wide world. Here are some pictures of everyone carving their pumpkins.
 
Jordan was the first to complete his pumpkin. He told me that he called his "shapes"
 Here is Dad's Pumpkin...He called it "Ghost Chicken in the Sky" You will have to ask Dad if you dont understand the name of his pumpkin.
 Here is Kayla and Leah.
 After most of us were done carving their pumpkins we decided it was time to do our carmel apples. Justin also decided that he was going to do it a little more gourmet and after the carmel was dry to dip them in chocolate as well. Of course then we had to dip them in nuts and coconut as well. Here is some pictures of the event...
 
Here are some pictures of the pumpkins as people were finishing them. The first pumpkin is mine...I decided to do a piriate pumpkin...I think that it turned out pretty cool.
 Here is Justin's Pumpkin....He did a witch this year.
 In this picture you can see mine Justin's, keyan's and Leah's Pumpkin
