Reformed Pumpkin Day!

This is kind of a random post after not posting anything for so long. But I have a couple photos, and they're worth a thousand words, right?

This was the 4th Annual Maclean Family Pumpkin Carving Contest. In the past it's been a small gathering in our yard where people bring carved pumpkins for democratic-style judging, snacks, and general hang-out time. This year we decided to move it into the park right behind our house, make it grillin-out style, and open it up to the church. We think over the course of the evening there may have been about 100 people who came! Yikes! It was really great.

You may remember that last year the fam dressed up together, including our poor dog, Bode. (pictures of last year's costumes can be found below) This year was no different. We were a family of superheroes! Meet Superman, disguised as Juan Maclean after a hard working day of photography, Super Pregs, and Super Dog.



Bode had a cape on, but you can't really see it and a strap soon broke. And here's Super Pumpkin Man. It had a cape, too, along with flames that went up 1-2 feet. What we lack in pumpkin carving skill we try to make up for in size & pyrotechnics. Don't worry, Dad, we had a fire extinguisher in arm's reach.



Good times! Oh, and this is Debbie at about 28 weeks pregnant - that's 7 months if you needed the help.
