We got talked into heading up a scene at our cities Pumpkin Walk this year, so Jon has been busy painting pumpkins for the past few weeks. There were about seven other families that each had a part they had to do and then we all met and set it up this week. The theme for the Pumpkin Walk this year was "The Power of Animation". We chose (or was told by a good friend, who volunteered us for this!) that we would be doing Toy Story! Another set of families in our neighborhood did "A Bugs Life". It was a lot of work to get it to come together but to watch the kids and parents as they walk thru and get so excited about the scene is great. It was worth all the work. It is free to anyone who wants to walk thru and they have 1000's of people come for the five days it is open. Schools come clear from Ogden to see it. I was able to walk with Jack's kindergarten class thru it and he was so excited to tell all his friends what we did to help with it. The scenes were amazing this year.
Our family was in charge of the pig and slink the dog. Jon did a great job on them! He worked hard and as with anything he does they were perfect. He is such a perfectionist, I think he painted them a hundred times to get them to look just like the ones from the movie.
Each morning I have to go over and make sure all the pieces are still on and withstanding the winter weather we have been having. We also have music playing all day that I turn on. At night it is all lit up and amazing to see all the scenes.

Those pumpkins look so great! How fun your theme was Toy Story. Jons work definitely paid off.
Good work, Jon!
