The Great Jack-O-Lantern Blaze

Last weekend was Halloween weekend. In honor of the holiday Mike and I traveled over to Sleepy Hollow, NY. Since Mike spent most of the day studying we weren't able to head down till around 5. Since it was so late a lot of the fun day time actives were over. We did happen to pass a halloween block party. It was cute and very small town. A few local food vendors had food stands up, a boy scout troop was selling hot coco and apple cider, that kind of thing. We got some food and walked around for a while, it was pretty fun. Next year we will go in the day time and see all the fun Headless Horsemen things :)

After our dinner we headed to the main event of the evening, The Great Jack-O-Lantern Blaze. It was incredible. There were thousands of hand carved pumpkins in so many different designs. Words really can't describe how awesome it was. Some of our favorite displays were; the cemetery, giant spider web with lots of spiders all around, dinosaurs, three witches, butterfly garden, halloween cats, clock with "The end is Near" on it and a path that slowly went out, monsters, sea life, zoo animals.... I guess we loved the whole thing!  I think we will need to make it a family tradition. We got tickets the same time as a few of our friends so we were able to walk through with some of them. It was a lot of fun to sip hot, over priced apple cider, hold hands and interpret the pumpkin designs with our friends. It was a great night.
