Pumpkin Festival

The Roman Revenge pumpkin catapulting machine

Those 2 dots in the sky are pumpkins flying through the air. Unbelievable how far and high they could go!!

Lost in the corn maze (the corn isn't that tall but believe me it's harder than it looks!)


Elisabeth loved the little hay bale maze

Pumpkins everywhere

On Saturday we traveled to Lowry's, SC and went to a pumpkin festival at Cotton Hills Farm. They had wagon rides, a corn and hay bale maze, food, music, petting area and best of all.....the pumpkin catapult. It was so cool to watch. They had a contraption that would fling the pumpkins so high and far that it was unbelievable. Mike Redding from Carolina Traveler was there and we got his picture but I don't think we got in any of his shots so we missed our chance to be on TV. Maybe next time. We got 5 pumpkins (3 big and 2 small) and John spent most of his Sunday afternoon carving them. I'll have to post a picture of them later. They look really good.
