Rise of the Jack O Lanterns Revisited Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Filed Under: BLOG, Family Life, Halloween, Kids Posts Tagged With: Blog Hop, family fun, Halloween, Pumpkin Carving, Rise of the Jack O Lanterns, Wonderful Wednesday

It is Fall and definitely that time of the year to enjoy all sorts of ‘haunting’ Fall activities with my family.

Last week, I shared our recent annual visit to see Otto the Ghost at Hicks.

Well, this weekend, we returned and revisited The Rise of the Jack O Lanterns at Old Westbury Gardens.  

Welcome Sign for The Rise of the Jack O Lanterns

See all the #halloween #spook-tacular #pumpkins with The Rise of the Jack O Lanterns…

In case you didn’t follow me back then and are wondering what exactly is The Rise of the Jack O Lanterns, here is a brief description from their official website:

“Lighting up the night once again this October is a unique all-ages Halloween extravaganza – RISE of the Jack O’Lanterns! More than 5,000 hand-carved jack o’lanterns created by professional artists and sculptors are arranged in artful displays throughout a 1/4-mile scenic trail. The entire family-friendly stroll is a multi-sensory experience that is sure to be a lasting annual family tradition. 

All new for 2014! Imagine seeing thousands of carved jack o’lanterns arranged within a variety of exciting themes. Visitors will see a re-creation of the New York City Skyline, favorite sports stars from your professional teams, amazingly carved images of famous TV stars, a giant graveyard made of jack o’lanterns, and a pre-historic arrangement of life-sized dinosaurs made entirely out of lit jack o’lanterns! The variety of themes are sure to impress visitors of all ages.”

The Beginning!

The Beginning!

Now without further ado, here is all the Jack O Lantern spook-tacular fun from this past Saturday evening’s adventure: (By the way these are all taken with my iPhone 6 Plus camera).

    This is a fun blog hop with so many great fall & creepy posts! There is a similar event to your extravaganza in Sleepy Hollow, NY… its called “Blaze” and attracts thousands from all over. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and were so impressed by the artistry. Amazing what some people can do with a pumpkin, isn’t it?

    Janine those pumpkins are incredible!! I so wish I lived there – Tucker would LOVE this (plus he and Emma could hold hands when they got scared and how adorable would that be??).

    We have twelve pumpkins in our garden awaiting the baking. 🙂 Happy Wednesday my friend.

    Janine,

    I have NEVER seen so many carved pumpkins in my entire life. I do not think we have anything like this in the south. How in the world did they think of all the ways to carve and position these pumpkins? It reminds me of a drive through Christmas light show.
    Love co-hosting with you!
    Blessings,
    Diane Roark

    That Jack ‘O Lantern display is impressive!!! How on earth do they get all those pumpkins lit at the same time???? (I’m guessing they use lights.)

  6. Echo says

    October 21, 2014 at 9:33 pm

    That Jock O Lantern garden has to be one of the coolest things ever!

    The trip to the land of the jack-o-lanterns looks like so much fun. I’m sure the girls loved it! One year I’ll have to check it out for myself. And all those goodies you highlighted look so yummy. Happy Halloween…a little early. Love…..

    Oh my goodness, that pumpkin art is incredible! I think my favourite is the dinosaur. This post makes me wish Halloween was as big here in Australia as it is in the states … I’ve never even carved a pumpkin 🙁 maybe I should get my act together and do my first one this year!

  18. Carrie Groneman says

    October 22, 2014 at 12:39 pm

    Oh my word my family would LOVE that!! Thanks for putting up the pictures so we can enjoy it that way. AWESOME!!!! Carrie, A Mother’s Shadow

    October 22, 2014 at 2:28 pm

    Oh wow, those are incredible! I would love to see the pumpkins in person. I can’t even draw, let alone carve a pumpkin that looks like someone!

  20. Tamara says

    October 22, 2014 at 4:51 pm

    I can’t believe how many links you guys get! What a great linkup.
    And I also was impressed by the Modern Family pumpkins! And all the wonderful Disney ones. My kids would LOVE those.

    Janine, I will have to take a trip up next year so we can celebrate these things together. I’m loving those photos! I’m heading to the pumpkin patch this weekend finally and I so wish I had Lily and Emma, and of course you to tag along with us. I’m hoping to see you on my next trip.

    Those jack o’ lanterns are amazing! What a fun event! I can only imagine how much time it must take to make some of those displays, especially the dinosaur.

  26. Christy Birmingham says

    October 24, 2014 at 2:21 pm

    Those pumpkin displays are amazing! I like that even Modern Family characters get put on pumpkins now 🙂 Happy Friday, Janine!
