Pumpkin Baseball 2018

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!

Pumpkin Baseball 2017

 What are your family traditions?  Ceremonial end of the season pumpkin baseball is one of ours.

Thanksgiving Day was the day this year.  It was a gorgeous and the pumpkins were about to spoil waiting for the boys to get home from college.  In fact, some of them were a little ripe, if you know what I mean.  Look at the expressions on their faces as they knew what was about to fly all over them!  *Ü*  Love it!!

Nicholas is up first and never missed a one! Being the baseball player in the house, he wants to hit the bigger ones for a more fantastic explosion.

 Benjamin is up next.

This one was too funny not to include - that kid got covered!

Dad is always up last!  I didn't hit any this year, they were bigger than usual and it about broke my hand last year.  I need that hand to stamp with!

 The line up and the before and after!

We cleaned it all up but there were seeds left here and there.  I wish I could have gotten a photo of the squirrel family that camped out in the yard cleaning up all afternoon. 

I'm not gonna lie, it was really weird to play pumpkin baseball without Sarah.  She has never missed a game.  Next year our catcher will Daphne and we can't wait to play with her!

She gets to come home in one week.  It has been 17 years since we had a puppy, I hope I didn't forget how!
