Ruby, Stella, and Pumpkins

We had visitors this weekend! Tyler, Emily, Ruby, and Stella made the 6 hour (7 with kids) trip to come see us. It was great to hang out with them and Easton and Brady loved seeing their cousins. While they were here we went to a pumpkin patch and carved pumpkins.

Riley and Tyler beginning on their pumpkins. I was wondering if this would turn into a competition, but surprisingly it did not.


Okay, so we picked out the hardest pumpkins known to man. Riley was not being dramatic with the saw... that is what it took just to cut the top off of the pumpkin!

Tyler's method was to use one of my pots like a hammer to pound the knife into the pumpkin.

These were seriously the hardest pumpkins ever. This is Riley after 2 hours of working on it! I can just see the joy on his face.

Finally done! Tyler's is on the left and Riley's is on the right.

These two were pretty excited when the pumpkins were done.

2 brothers... 2 kids each!

Emily and I tried roasting the pumpkin seeds. They didn't turn out too bad.

I'm glad that you posted pictures of the brothers carving the pumpkins. When we felt Tyler's pumpkin later on in the weekend we thought he had bought a fake pumpkin it was SO hard. Cute pictures!!
