Backyard Pumpkin Carving Party

It is tradition on Taft Campus for the assistant coordinators to host a pumpkin carving party every year for the instructors. I gladly followed along with the tradition and invited all the staff over for an evening in mid October before Halloween.

Me with Dominica, Claire, and Hannah carving away.

We collected a bowl of the pumpkin seeds to roast.

Several of the girls brought over their bathing suits to try out the Hillbilly hot tub.

We had mulled apple cider simmering over the fire, hot chocolate, sliced apples and fresh roasted pumpkin seeds....yum!

Natalie actually got her pumpkin to fit on her head!


We had a fun time carving pumpkings and enjoying the new backyard with several of our "neighbors" from campus.
