Pumpkin Olympics

While Halloween is over the after effects of our annual party still linger as cobwebs on the edges of my mind.  Unfortunately we did not get to perform our ritual pumpkin massacre due to a special visit from Toronto's finest at 1:00 AM.  But we did get to hold our yearly pumpkin Olympics, a competitive event involving the orange gourds. 

In  case you want some inspiration for fun and games at future Halloween parties here are pumpkin sports that we have done at past parties.  Each year gets a different event:

• bobbing for pumpkins
• pumpkin bocci
• darts - throwing darts at pumpkins marked with differing point values
• pumpkin bowling - knock over tin cans with small pumpkins
• pumpkin stacking - 8 pumpkins high was the recrod
• pumpkin skee-ball - roll pumpkins up a ramp and try to get it to land in the box with the highest point value
• pumpkin croquet - this year's latest addition!
