More Fun From Our Weekend

We traveled to Chapel Hill on Saturday to attend a Pumpkin Festival held at Kevin's project site. There was a great bluegrass band, delicious food (pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake), fun activities for the kids like gourd bowling and face painting. It was another rainy day, but the boys had fun. We also carved pumpkins. The pumpkin "guts" had already been scooped out so the carving part was super easy.

Face painting. Fletcher wasn't too sure about this.


But he LOVED the finished product.

One of these things is not like the other.

Saturday night we went to a Japanese restaurant. Fletcher has been studying Japan in school so this was especially fun for him. The chef was very funny and kept teasing Fletcher. He used chopsticks for the first time and did very well with them. Better than I can do! Luke was not too sure about the open flame and smoke and chaos (they kept walking around beating a drum to celebrate people's birthdays). Thank goodness for the cool aquarium.

Yes, if you are wondering, Fletcher's eyes do look a bit odd. We had trouble getting all of the pumpkin face paint off before dinner.

One more day to go...
