Family Home Evening: Our Great Pumpkin Patch Adventure

For Family Home Evening we decided we would go get our Halloween pumpkins. To make it feel a little more festive, I had the girls help make our dinner... "ham and cheese spiders". The girls thought this was really fun and they were really good too! This is what they look like when they come out of the oven. The silver "balls" are aluminum foil that you put under the legs to make them stick up.... We think they look more like crabs than spiders...but we will call them spiders anyway!

We tried to talk Courtney into going on Saturday instead, but she insisted that hunting for pumpkins in the dark with flashlights would be AWESOME!


We couldn't see them really well in the dark...but hopefully tomorrow in the light of day they will be as great as we thought they were tonight...


I told Dan to look excited... he gave a great effort don't you think?!


After getting our pumpkins we decided to skip the rice krispie treats we had made earlier and went to Red Robin for a chocolate shake instead... We should have shared... none of us even came close to finishing one! But they were delicious!




It was a really fun night and another great Floyd Family adventure! Family Night is the BEST!!!!!

Fun! Searching for pumpkins by flashlight does look like a fun adventure!
I am impressed with that dinner! How festive. I thought they were crabs at first too but they do pass for spiders AND you can make them again in the summer for a beachy theme and have them be crabs then!

What a fun Family Home Evening! Courtney was right...night pumpkin hunting added a lot of atmosphere! You will have to let me know how to make the "spiders".
