Halloween 2013 – The Third Annual Pumpkin Carving

A few Amble Road residents gathered for the third annual carving of the pumpkin. This year we couldn’t get the Sonos system and the correct iPhone to work together so we had to forgo the spooky music. Imagine, if you will, songs like “Thriller”, “I Put a Spell on You” and “Monster Mash” playing in the background. However, there’s a teenager in the group so we did have the requisite visual special effects.
