jack-o-lantern spectacular

Tonight we spent at Roger Williams Park Zoo in Rhode Island. Every year they set up a huge display of illuminated carved pumpkins. The weather couldn't be better if we had asked for it.

Winston and Bennett are excited to go in and check out all of the pumpkins.

The elephants were out on our walk over to the displays.

Bennett really enjoyed looking at all the pumpkins.  They kept his attention enough that he stayed in his stroller the entire time (which is unusual for him).  He would point certain pumpkins out.  Usually those with pictures he recognized and say: "Wow, cool!"

These pumpkins amaze with their detail and size.  It's unbelievable these are all hand-carved.

King Kong.

There are a lot of people here tonight.  It's literally a river of people flowing through a narrow tunnel.  It makes it hard to stop and take pictures or to stop at all.

Fish.

All of the displays had a theme.  There were at least 50 different themes including Sleepy Hollow, Sound of Music, Disney and the Beatles.  

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Frankenstein.

Dracula.

There are too many pictures to take.  I gave up taking pictures and just enjoyed the showing.  It was our first time visiting the Zoo for this event.  We will be coming back next year.  Bennett really enjoyed it and I think Winston will too.
