Pumpkin Drop

On Sunday, we went to a Pumpkin Drop.  The pumpkins had been hollowed, filled with small bags of candy, and placed into a net.  The nets were lifted by cranes and then the net was opened resulting in the pumpkins smashing to the ground.  One of the nets didn't release properly, but eventually all of the pumpkins were dropped and the kids were able to search through gross bits of smashed pumpkins to find the bags of candy.

Collin was trying to be funny by making that weird face????  We had James and Karlie with us for the event.

Here is a video of the pumpkins smashing to the ground:

Once all of the pumpkins were safely released, the kids were allowed into the area to start searching for candy!

The little bags were covered in dirt and pumpkin guts, but that did not deter the kids; they all got quite a bit of candy!
