When the boys were home for Thanksgiving we played our annual game of pumpkin baseball with the left over pumpkins from decorating. They are soft and squishy and make the best splatters by then. *Ü*
Inspecting the bat and deciding who is going first. For all these years we are still using Nicholas' little league bat!
Ben is up first. This is Daphne's first pumpkin baseball game and she didn't quite know what to make of it!
Daphne was going to catch that 'ball' and take it at all cost.
I love their faces when that pumpkin splats all over them!
I wish I could have caught this photo a couple second later because when Daphne saw that thing explode, she halted to the point she almost backed up! It was hilarious!
He had several good splats!
Notice Daphne isn't coming near that thing anymore!
Next up is Nicholas. Dad is pitching but stays a safe distance away from the splatter. He still gets it though!
Splat!
Again!
And again...notice the dog actually is pretty smart and stayed back!
And again! She will check it out now...looks safe.
Dad's up next and he hit one . He had back surgery in August and wasn't sure if he was going to be able to do it.
No problem, he smashed it to smithereens!
I got in the action too but my pinch hitting photographer failed to get the fantastic smash. He's fired!
I've never heard of pumpkin baseball. That was great. Thanks for sharing, Becky.
