The finished products. The winner was the second from left. Ours was the last on the left, a cat in front of a moon. We like it anyway!

The kids behind "their" pumpkins. Ask how many actually did any carving?

Andrew & Abby

Although we didn't win any prizes, our family had so much fun at the picnic/pumpkin carving contest after church today. We all brought our lunch and headed over to Irmo Elementary's playground. The playground was great, with lots to do! A favorite was a sort of balance thing that the kids could try to walk across while it moved. Aubrey just enjoyed walking around and sampling everyone's food. Andrew loved climbing and running with his friend, Abby, and Davis climbed everything and hung out with good friend, Alex. It was a little chilly but that just made for great fall weather!
