Pumpkin Festival in Maine!!!!!!!

Getting ready for the pumpkin cannon


the boys hiding and plugging their ears

the next (quieter) activity was apple picking!






chasing geese





checking out the sheep


having fun at Grandma & Grandpa's house!!!!

they have some great climbing rocks in the yard


pretty huge mushroom

Evan and his fishing pole





view from the deck at Coveside

Joel and I enjoying the sunshine and gin & tonic as we escaped the kids!

and we just HAD to stop at the ice house

she slept for a LONG time on the couch


hanging out on the deck with all the cousins at the cottage

playing with ALL the cousins in the barn:  Alex, Norah, Evan, Ayla, Hannah, Garrett, Kelsey, Sydney, & Kirsten












fabulously decorated pumpkins up and down Main St.

the winner!



the boys working on their swords

the girls working on their necklaces







best friends!

admiring each others tattoos and necklaces and jewelry that they won at the street fair

Alex & Evan checking out the pumpkin boats

the piggy boat was a favorite!

we took the kids to the beach where they collected some clay from the bank and we did some projects

Alex went the more creative and creepy route by making a very realistic skeleton

fresh from the tubby and almost bedtime


getting ready to go to the pumpkin drop on our last day here
we stopped at the farm stand on the way and got some yummy veggies, treats, and pumpkins




centering the pumpkins and getting ready for the drop!

600lb pumpkin 200 feet up...

Alex & Evan are ready!



the pumpkin aftermath



potty break at the Dunk - Ayla was modeling her new sunglasses  ;)  she liked to wear them this way instead
