Punkin Chunkin

Brody in the Mud
Yup, he's definately in the mud

2010 has brought us many new experiences, a family addition, a summer vacation, and now, the 25th Annual World Punkin Chunkin Championships in Deleware. Yes, we visited my redneck roots and foraged out 2 hours early in the morning to park our truck in the middle of a corn field where we watched pumpkins getting launched and catapaulted up to 3000 ft into the air for five hours. It was so much fun! Brody loved running around in the mud so much we had to strip him down before we returned home. Ali slept in her carrier for the most part and Jon, Nate, Stephanie, and I enjoyed the morning with some warm caffine and alcoholic beverages. All in all, a wonderful way to spend a Saturday (even if I had to use a port-a-potty with Alison strapped to my chest because she was sleeping, a feat that will never be topped).
