PUMPKIN CARVING PARTY:

This is one of our favourite activities in Autumn. My parents host a big pumpkin carving party every year and my kids and their older cousins plus aunts and uncles come. Numbers vary from year to year depnding on schedules but we always have fun!

Depending on the day of the week we have pizza or a Hallo-weenie Roast (roasting hot dots over an open fire) and then take a large group photo of the awesome jack-o-lanterns we’ve all created!
