? Annual Punkin Chunkin

Can't remember when we started disposing of our pumpkins in this goofy way. We met at our house after church and after church lunch at Athenos (perfect gyro). Before I start the Chunkin story, here is my pumpkin history this year. My porch pumpkins attracted some unwanted attention.

 

It started with a nibble and ended like this. 

 

They even ate the seeds. But this morning before we tossed them, Ed caught the perpetrator red handed. 

 

We left the green one for him. Just seemed like he earned it. 

 

The cast of characters. The one on the towel was a little rotten. He was dubbed Little Nasty. 

Sophie was up first and chose Little Nasty. She thought he would explode easily. 

Fly little one. 

 

Ryan gave it an epic hurl scoring the furthest away award. 

 

No one enjoys the day more than Truffles. 

 

Toby hung close to avoid falling squash. 

 

Paul selected a huge one that he threw to new heights winning the loft award. 

 

Cute pic that Paul took. He loves his new iPhone 7plus camera. 

 

I hurled one of my squirrel chewed ones. 

 

Mary Grace ended the toss with a tough little white one. It didn't break. Ed had an idea. 

He brought out his machete! He really got in the spirit of things. Sliced it right in half. 

Truffles couldn't decide which one to sample. 

 

We will leave the rest for squirrels and possums. We adjourned to the house for leftover pie, coffee and hot apple cider.
