2nd Annual Meyer Pumpkin Carving....

The 2nd Annual Meyer Pumpkin Carving took place on Friday night...and we had a record 23 people...and about 12 carvers...way to go team!

We started off the night with a visit from Rene and Avea...and even got them to pose with us....8 eyes, 4 smiles!
Next up...the kids, us and the dogs...14 eyes, 4 smiles and 3 tongues!
Let the fun begin...Amanda made Butternut Squash..and YES, she is Martha Stewart!
There were Brats, Cheesy Potatoes and lots of OKTOBERFEST style beer....flowing all night!
