Fred & I started going to the Logan Pumpkin Walk when we were dating- actually I think it was one of 5 Student Ward FHE's that I went to. The first time we went the line was forever long and it was freezing... nothing's changed yet we've made it a tradition to go every year since.
It's held every year in October the weekend before Halloween. Different people from the community put together a scene using pumpkins (& squash) - for almost everything. This year was a little warmer as we walked around the field. They had some fun scenes.
Everything was fine until we got to the end of the trail where you go into a building with that has a funny scene & the really detailed carved pumpkins. Obviously the line is going to back up as people wait their turn to look closely. They also have a witch sitting in a chair for kids to talk to and they hand out a little snack (generally hard cookies). Then you get the annoying people that think they're "too good" to stand in line and go in the Exit of the building - making the wait for those of us who can read signs such as "Enter" and "Exit" even longer. It's a good thing the scene was funny and worth the wait.
(It's a scene with Obama in a crib with a sign that says "Too Young" and McCain in a rocking chair wearing a "I like Ike" pin.) We stopped and picked up cinnamon rolls and ate them with Hot Chocolate at Crystal's (my little sister) apartment. It was fun to visit her, but I DO NOT wish I was back in college... studying, roommates, living near campus, parking lots with idiots.....Married life is the life for me! Not to mention the guy that lives above her that sounded like he counting out how many paces long his apartment was!

My neighbors are great! It is a good thing you like being married instead of school because you are stuck married to Fred. I am opposite I don't think I could handle the married life. :) See you for Thanksgiving!
