13 Days of Halloween: #12

#12:  A MONSTER EGG HUNT  

THE UTAH GINORMOUS PUMPKIN REGATTA

We shuffled our 13 Days of Halloween around a bit to make room for a funny [yet, impressive] 'Halloween' event, The Utah Ginormous Pumpkin Regatta.  

900-1500 pound pumpkins...in a water race.  

OF COURSE we'd be there.

+  Before the regatta, we had a good breakfast.  It's finally eggnog season which means Pumpkin Spice Eggnog French Toast!  We used Cinnamon Burst bread [from Great Harvest], and only had one slice left over so I take it my boys liked it!  I love eating breakfast with my family on the weekends.

+  Hubby also tried to teach Big Brother how to blow his nose, with a little tape and a tissue...

...we're still trying.

+  so...THE PUMPKIN REGATTA!  Despite the pumpkin "boats" moving a bit slowly toward the "finish line," the pumpkins ARE ginormous and the pumpkin boat designs/captains' outfits are a lot of fun to see.

At the promo booths Big Brother had his face painted,

"A blue cat" [his idea]

The boys sat inside of a giant pumpkin, and we won free Chik-fil-A food by spinning a prize wheel.  Although Little Brother never looked happy in our photos at the park, we all had a good time at The Utah Ginormous Pumpkin Regatta!

+  Big Brother spent some time with his aunt J [who made him a fantastic, Halloween-themed game board to encourage him to use the potty]!  I love my sisters.

And I love this boy.
