A Fall Celbration*

The last few years our friends have hosted a fall party, and this year the celebration seemed bigger than ever (perhaps because of all the new babies). Here's some of the fun we had:

^ Zach's quarterback form; showing off his push-up skills to Kasey???

^Carving Zach's pumpkin. Zach didn't want to get his hands dirty, so he did about two scoops with the spoon before he was done cleaning it out. Same with carving... the second picture shows his interest level. I carved the circular eyes he requested before I remembered I've already carved my share of pumpkins. So now we have a jack o'lantern with just two eyes. I like to think it's spooky.

^Wagon rides! Check out how strong Evangeline is - she's not much bigger than the two in the wagon!

^And then there was the pinata - a huge hit! Most amusing to most of us adults was watching the kids try to line up by size, and then attempt to patiently wait their turn. But no one got whacked with the bat or trampled in the race for the bounty - success!

^Perhaps in a few years Zach's pumpkin will look more like this one!

*Yes, I do know how to spell celebration (and use spell-check). This misspelling is intentional, now a bit of a tradition with our friends; basically a way to never let one friend forget that once upon a time he made a typo.
