The main event of our New York trip was the
The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze in Croton-on-Hudson (near Sleepy Hollow). I can't begin to describe how amazing this was. Over 5,000 hand-carved jack o'lanterns illuminated and set up in these amazing displays (900 are real pumpkins that have to be re-carved each week, the rest are hand-carved artificial pumpkins called funkins). There were snakes slithering along the ground, a field of sunflowers, a creepy cemetery, spiders and a huge spider web, an undersea aquarium and sea serpent, dinosaurs, and so much more! It was amazing. My pictures don't do it justice at all. And for some reason I didn't take any photos of our group. I guess I was too enthralled with the pumpkins.

There were three of these huge cubes and we weren't sure what they were until we had almost passed them and a creepy pumpkin head popped out of the top. Jack O'Lantern in the box!
