Thanksgiving in Rhode Island 2010

 It was a long hard drive but worth it.  I'm sorry but some of these pictures got out of order.  It was great being able to visit with everyone.  John and Kelly invited us all over for meat pies Wednesday night.  I loved seeing the renovations being made to their home. It's looking great.  I SO enjoyed seeing the Marks' girls.  The boys enjoyed visiting with the Marks grand kids as well.

 Ok, so.  Stephen and Anne's neighbors had this wicked catapult.  This is some serious stuff!  It has a 450lb weight on it and they spend HOURS perfecting the arc, projection, etc.  These are the day time shots.

It was freezing but Jeff had on shorts!

It took minimum five people to pull the weight down

Ok.  I'm noticing I have all these pictures of Dan but none of Le.  I promise he was with us.

Jaye and Mrs. Marks This picture should have been up at the top.  Sorry.

Back to Thanksgiving....Jenny and Jaye

 Back to the catapult. (I warned you the pictures were out of order.)At night it's a whole new game.  They drill holes into the pumpkins and pour gasoline in it.  Stuff a rag into one of the holes.  Light it on fire.  And let it fly.

Kids, don't try this at home!

Ready!.......Set!!.....

FIRE!!!

It was as much fun watching the kids take off running with a wheelbarrow and dirt to put the fires out.
