Carving Jack O Lantern

Rachel this year got to go on a field trip to Linder Farms.  She picked out her own pumpkin.  It was pretty funny because she picked out the 1st one she saw.

 Here she is picking up her pumpkin.  Grabbing it with both arms and lifting it up.  The lady told them to pick the biggest one they could lift.

This is the one she chose.

So last night we finally had our family home evening when we got to carve the pumpkin.  She was so excited to make a Jack O Lantern.

 Scooping out the goop.  She really didn't like touching it that much.

 Trying to scoop with all she had. Decided a big spoon was to big for her.

 Dad helping to get all the goop out.

 Wahoo finally a big goop of the insides on the pan.

 Rachel actually decided what she wanted it to look like 1st on the piece of paper and then Scott drew it on the pumpkin and helped her carve it out. 

 The finished project.

 She really was excited to have a Jack O Lantern.  It can now not be called a pumpkin because it's a Jack O Lantern.

We found some little tea light candles to put it in and it now glows.
