Out of the (Broom) Closet

We always take our vacation at that time of year, as we get to celebrate and really enjoy the season. Also a fun time to drive down to the valley and see the pumpkin people. Denise absolutely looses her mind and you almost pee your pants laughing at.... er, with her.
I've always loved Halloween as a kid, and I love any reason to dress up. I miss the dress up day at work, which makes sort of sad. Sort of. I prefer the classic costumes. You know, Viking, Devil, Vampire and Zombie. Denise likes to dress up like a Turkish lady, whatever that is.

To clarify, I was in fifth grade and wanted to be nothing other than a Turkish lady, and woe to those who looked at me and said "What a cute little gypsy". I was a TURKISH LADY!
And for those who don't know, the Pumpkin People are simply the BEST THING EVER!!!! A whole town that sets up scenes of pumpkin 'scarecrows' in selected themes. It is my favourite part of the whole year!!!

Awww, it sounds like you guys have a great time! I love Halloween and really regretted not celebrating last year so I vowed I would this year! But now a friend is getting married on that day. Maybe I should just vamp it out at the wedding. :-P

The pumpkin people happen in the Town of Kentville, Nova Scotia. It's about an hour away from where we live in Halifax.

That first picture you have with the word Samhain, is so beautiful, and i know I've seen it before. I love autumn and Halloween. The part I hate is the crazy assholes, and so my cats stay in. I had a black kitty, and she was in in in. Zero questions.
It sounds like you have lots of fun:)
