I woke up Saturday morning with every intention of creating one of my last watermelon carvings of the season. It was going to be a really cool Viking helmet<\/a>. (I was even going to talk my wife into letting me put it on our three-year-old for the photo op.)<\/p>\n

But alas, one thing led to another \u2013 as it often does when you have a three-year-old at home \u2013 and my plans to create a watermelon helmet were placed on the back burner. So, instead of creating a sweet piece of headgear, I\u2019ve decided to use this entry to look back at all the watermelon carvings I\u2019ve crafted this year. Below are snapshots of each creation. Which one is your favorite? Sound off with a comment and by answering the poll in the sidebar on the right!<\/p>\n

THE WATERMELON GRILL<\/a> \u2013 Perfect for cooking up a few watermelon burgers and watermelon dogs!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/address>\n
\"carvefinish\"<\/address>\n

THE WATERMELOPHANT<\/a> \u2013 One of many tasty stars from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.<\/p>\n

\u00a0THE WATERMELON TIKI MASK<\/a> \u2013 It\u2019s not so scary \u2026 until it starts spitting seeds at you.<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
\u00a0THE WATERMELON HIPPO<\/a> \u2013 They say hippos are one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. From the looks of this marshmallow-toothed creature, that\u2019s hard to believe.<\/address>\n
