Every halloween season, the house at 748 Beech Street in Kenova, West Virginia is transformed into the Great Pumpkin House.
The owner, Ric Griffith and hundreds of other volunteers carve thousands of pumpkins for display at his home.
This year they had approximately 3,030 pumpkins on display.
So if you want a little Halloween fun, be sure to visit us next year, it's only twenty minutes away, and so worth the visit. One of the best displays was his wall of pumpkins choreographed to music, the pumpkins that lit up were done so when the instrument that was carved on them was playing.
The Pumpkin house was great. YOu have to like the picture of four of the boys (with Porter and Cooper in their pajamas [Cooper with his Bathrobe]). I was glad we could all go as a family.
WOWZERS! it's not always easy to get a good picture of nightime pumpkins... LOVE that carved Christ to the right of Hunter's head and the crab next to Cooper in his... bathrobe? Heehee you can't even tell, thanks for sharing! If anyone would like a PDF file on LDS Patterns carving Pumpkins, bleep me a note and I can email it... you can practice on Watermelons, etc. until next Halloween! Thanks for the GREAT snapshot!

Men are what their mothers made them. - Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1860
In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance. Let us open our eyes and see the heavy hearts, notice the loneliness and despair; let us feel the silent prayers of others around us, and let us be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to answer those prayers. Dieter F. Utchdorf
I want to be the kind of Mom that would remember to get the broken Wheezy off of the shelf, fix his squeaker, and put him back in the toy box, having hope that my boys will still want to play.
