pumkin chunkin

The second annual Stoney Creek Circle Punkin Chunk happened the Saturday after Halloween.  After all, you have to do something with all those jack o lanterns and they are going to end up as compost anyways.

This year, instead of just throwing them around in the street, Evie and Jim constructed this contraption.  This allowed the girls to get some air under those pumpkins


Taylor could really make it fly.

Paige's whole pumpkin took a flight.

And then Dad sent one soaring.  Stand back everyone!




Don't know why this picture loaded so big, but it is a very good shot of Glen busting up our simple machine.   Fortunately, we had extra lumber.  After this shot, Jim broke a board too.  Man is more powerful than pumpkin.

Evie sends her pumpkin flying we all had a great time watching them get smashed up.  Then they threw them all into the wheelbarrel to be compost for next year's garden.
