Pumpkin carving party

This was an event that the other American family in the village organized, and I was so happy to help decorate and participate! It was a first annual event open to the community at the Jubilee Green, and it was such a fun night.

Though at the time it was starting, it was all a bit crazy since Rhodri and the kids weren't home from Wales yet and we had the Czech family arriving to stay the night with us, and I had 6 pumpkins in the car that needed to be hollowed out before  the event!

Martina and Lukasz were great guests, though, and they kindly agreed to clean out all 6 pumpkins while I scurried around getting food etc ready to take over there. Anyone who volunteers to get up to their elbows in pumpkin slime and seeds is welcome to be a guest at our house anytime!

It was a chilly night but the bonfires were burning to keep people warm, and we had the built-in BBQs going for anyone to cook their food on, and music was playing from a wireless speaker, and it was all just really good clean fun.
