The past few days we've spent a lot of time celebrating Halloween, probably more than I've ever done! Last weekend we went to a Halloween party at a friend's house. It was the most decorative party I've ever been to. There was a haunted house in the backyard and so much themed decor!
Last Year as Bert!
We spent the next afternoon at the Rock Creek Farm Pumpkin Patch in Broomfield. I don't remember the last time I even bought a pumpkin! The farm was about 30 minutes away from Denver, halfway between Denver and Boulder. This area of town has beautiful views of the Front Range; there are very few buildings obstructing the view. It was pretty surreal picking pumpkins from the vine while looking at the snow capped Rockies behind you!
Matt and I thought we picked out great pumpkins... then we got home and saw our neighbors pumpkins and realized ours were pretty pathetic. Mine was strangely soft, probably molding and Matt's wouldn't stand up straight. Next year we will have to go to the patch a few weeks before the holiday to get a better selection.
We spent Monday night carving pumpkins with our friends (well some friends were there to watch, not everybody carved). Matt was going to carve the Cleveland Cav's logo and I stuck to the boring Jack-o-lantern theme. Some say Matt's turned out like a turtle with an airplane going through it, but hey, we still had fun!
