already the 25th of October. We drove over
to Tualatin for the 5th Annual Pumpkin Regatta....
Children were dancing......
....painting pumpkins......
...while "adults" carved and scooped out
giant pumpkins that became.......
boats to race with!
There were quite a few pumpkins....
Everyone was trying out their boats
before the first race began........
