Our Halloween traditions got a little mixed up this year due to the unexpected things that happen in life.
We never made it to the pumpkin patch as a family which we have done every year since Cody was a baby to enjoy in all of those festivities.
We tried growing our pumpkins again this year (which was a new tradition we started last year) but our whole garden was a loss and we only produced three pumpkins which are just now starting to turn orange.
Instead we got our cheap pumpkins at Walmart but never carved them, we just simply ran out of time. The kids were a little disappointed but recovered quickly.
Yesterday we started a new tradition though which the kids absolutely loved, I had a little fun with it myself.
We headed back out to the desert to shoot up our 5 little store bought, uncarved pumpkins.
The kids and I all had our first turns at shooting Heath's shotgun (they liked this gun way more than the rifle) mostly because of the big holes that were left behind.
The boys loved the demolition part and what pumpkin parts survived they destroyed by kicking, stomping, gutting, and throwing.
Hopefully next year we will be back to the old traditions but with this new one added.
Cool flyin pumpkin!
