Halloween 2009


Here are a few shots of the homestead with the pumpkins burning bright. I was treated to a great compliment while Trick or Treating near our house. We were walking at the far end of the street and another parent exclaimed, "I think those pumpkins are on fire!" Why yes, they are.



Trunk or Treat 2009

This was the big show this year and luckily it was a few days before Halloween, freeing me up for some pumpkin flaming at home and Trick or Treating with the kids. A few changes to the recipe this year had some great results. Here are a few pictures of the pumpkins on display.

















































After the initial warm-up the kids started going from car to car and I turned things up a little. The videos below show why my trunk was the most popular. I apologize for the poor quality video. Next year I'll have to have someone bring a better camera.




This was the big attraction. Some of the kids were ignoring the treats at the other cars and just standing there watching the pumpkins. You definitely know you've made an impact if they will ignore free candy.

I also used the flamethrower again this year. The kids loved it when I set the parking lot on fire.
