come to bring fun
or little boys
in big bodies
& a giant toy gun?
What can you say in 160 characters? Go see Monkey Man.
Spent the day at the pumpkin patch with the family. If you enlarge the first photo, that is no the moon in the sky, but my pumpkin traveling 225 feet though the air. I figure, I helped it accomplish a latent dream of flying, but we really have to work on the landing.
And just for fun, Mami shows us whats happening today.
Have a great Sunday everyone!

I heard it was Charlie's birthday too.
We have never been to the pumpkin patch here. That looks like fun shooting a pumpkin in the air like that.
I loved your pumpkin.. Brian, you are invited to Room for Romance
Lovely 160.. Mine is up..
--Someone Is Special--
Oh very good 160, looks like great fun, that's one impressive flying pumpkin!
... and no we don't have (had to google it) Bengay LOL
Hi! Brian...
The Pumpkin Blaster...What a nice little rhyme and great use of 160 words too!
(What a nice way to spend an autumn with your family too!)
Thanks, for sharing!
DeeDee ;-o
Dorothy did the work well, I reckon. I did enlarge the picture and was surprised. I have never heard of pumpkin-blasting before. Yours is a different culture! Glad that you had fun.
A wee curious here: Do you only blast pumpkins? What else happens?
Joy always,
Susan
Oooh, flying pumpkins, I love it! lol
Nice 160.
My 160 - His First Time.
susan, no it was a blast in more ways than one...smiles. we spent the day running through corn mazes, riding hay rides, picking pumpkins, playing with the farm animals...they had a huge bin filled with corn kernels that the boys played in like a sand box...there was a corn gun too where you launched dried ears...all of the launched food would be eaten by livestock eventually...there was also a slide called the mine shaft which was an underground slide...rubber duck races...lots of fun...but that would go way over 160...lol.
Is it a bird, is it a plane .. no it's Brian's flying pumpkin!!
Wow it sounds like such a fabulous day of fun!
Hi Brian,
So glad you all had a blast, your day sounded like it was a lot of fun.
Happy Pumpkin Day to you all.
God bless.
PS...doing okay, will be back soon.
This looks like so much fun!!! Boy that pumpkin had some power behind it!!Glad you had a wonderful time :)
Just made pie ! owe someone a loaf or 2 of pumpkin bread-
Launching pumpkins, huh;wouldn't want to be under the landing ! a spray of seeds
maybe...interesting!
My only question is: Is it still good for a pie after the landing?
Never ever waste a good pumpkin pie says I.
Nice one Brian. The flying pumpkin is great. I suspect no amount of "work" will make the landing anything but splat.
It's the Flying Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Incoming!!! LOL.
Thank you, Brian, for all of your wonderful recent comments. I am trying to catch up a little, today. :-)
pumpkin flying through the air!
I like that!
:D
patched flashback
flying pumpkins, oh my! I've never seen such a thing! great words here! and the picture of the flying pumpkin made me smile...I'm showing this one to my kids!
Oh MY!
Pumkins and canyons... that mind of yours...
:)
last year there was a nationwide pumpkin shortage...guess they're doing alright now!
Ha! I have a 50 year old big boy that I think would enjoy that big gun as well!
A FUN 160- our pumpkin patch here is nothing as fun as that, my boys would have loved it.
cheers,
Joanny
Hilarious! I'll bet your boys loved it!
We have kids in the neighborhood who do a great job with out the gun.. great 160
sounds like you had fun
Never heard/seen this kind of fun before!
Happy Sunday!
That pumpkin can really fly - too fun!
I would love shooting a pumpkin cannon.
This sounds like you and your family visited a pumpkin patch and had some fun together. Such good memories your making with them. Hope your Sunday is wonderful!
Hahaha...too funny...boys will be boys!
I wish we had a pumpkin blaster... looks like fun.. my hubby would totally get into that!!!
Ha! that's hysterical. a pumpkin chucker. found poetry.
Mine is up
have a great sunday,
the rain finally found the west coast
Dianne
My grandson's cub scout troop get to do this every year. They think it's great fun! l
Shooting pumpkins? I've never heard of that! Looks like it was a lot of fun.
Awesome Brian! Woohoo!!
go pumpkin go...
It's great to have fun. Nice to be with your kids, and I know - the kid is revived in you too.
I love how you can create a poem out of any experience or thought. Enjoyed this one as always.
oh... poor pumpkin! Just a few hours ago, I sent the text.... mmmmm pumpkins! :( Your words say it true, little boys in big bodies with a gun.. haha
sounds like fun! :) (poor pumpkin)
yet snazzy write to accompany it!
oh to be a pumpkin in a blaster
Thanks for the smile this morning. I have seen these things, but never known anyone who actually used one.
and I was wondering what was that orange ball flying over our house the other day ... and it was Brian's pumpkin ... :-)) happy Sunday Brian!
A big pumpkin canon named Dorothy! LOL! :)
That first picture is incredible!
The second...is that you with the mowhawk and your boys? They grew their's out and you had to get one? haha...nice.
Sounds like a wonderful day!
one word..... awesome!!!!
Now that looks like a blast - for little kids and big kids :)
That is an impressive toy gun. Big kid toy.
LOL! Nothing like a good punkin chunkin' gun...
Love pumpkin patches and the pumpkin blaster looks like fun. :0
Good, Bryan!
it sure sounds like fun! happy Sunday to you too!
Look's like fun. Yeah, the landings always seem to be the real issue.
Wow! What fun. A punkin gun. Love this time of year and your 160. Thanks for playing, Brian.
Brings memories of taking the children to the pumpkin patch, they loved it but we didn't shoot them in the air like that (my son would of loved it.....:-) Hugs
yup, it's getting to be about that time, isn't it? Excellent 160!
You are a man of many talents. Maybe it's time to move up to bigger things. I posted something on Sightings for you.
I've never heard of pumpkins shooting through the air, I guess that's how you squash the enemy.
Wow, you have pumpkins for Africa! Dorothy looks quite incapable - but my goodness have I been proved wrong! Wonderful family fun day... Lucky kids - big and small!
Oh boy, what a FUN post! And that is SOOOOOO funny about the pumpkin in the first pic! OMG, sweet orangy post!
Looks like a lot of fun. Loved the Charlie Brown reference!
What fun. It's been way too long since I've been to our pumpkin patch here.
I wanna blast pumpkins!
that sounds fantastic - we don't have something like this over here...i know someone who would love to try this...
I take it the gun is for the pumpkins? Is it loud? They shoot corn cobs through a cannon here at the local Corn MaiZe. It's pretty cool. Well, the guys like it anyway.
Haha! I need one of those in my lawn.
Long live the Great Pumpkin!
Fun 160.

cali...it gives a pretty good phwump...its al air pressure so...
We have amazing pumpkin patches around here, most have corn mazes along with them...great times, looks like your day was grand :)
Looks like great fun. Why don't we do that sort of thing over here?
How interesting!! Wish we had that here!
I want to go to a pumpkin patch this year..........hopefully we can!! Yours looks fun!!
What a lot of fun!! I read in the comments all the things you did. I bet the boys were tired and slept well that night. I love to watch these competitions on the science channels when they launch the pumpkins. The Great Pumpkin is a family viewing tradition in our house. ..."I got a rock..." :)
Awesome pic! The flying pumpkin rocks! :)
sounds like a great day had by all :)
What lucky children you and your wife have, they have such a wonderful family creating beautiful memories to last a lifetime.

There's little to compare with the joy of firing a pumpkin from a cannon.
Very cool!
Ahhh, nothing like a good old pumpkin blaster to make a party!! :)
Looks like a ton of fun. Pumpkins appearing here now too, yay.
xo
I bet your boys loved the flying pumpkin. Awesome.
We went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday, too. Sadly, there wasn't a pumpkin catapult. My boys would have LOVED that.
What a shot!
I've never been to a corn maze. (I have nightmare like thoughts of Children of the Corn) but the pumpkin patch sounds like fun!
I have a pumpkin growing in my yard (that I didn't plant) and I'm actually excited to see how big it gets before it's time to pick.
Way to go with the pumpkin blaster.
I've seen pumpkins launched by a trebuchet, but I've never seen a pumpkin gun like that! I can't believe how high your pumpkin got. What fun! Great pictures and your poem is really cute too. :) Paulette
that is SO COOL!!!
the Great Pumpkin...love it!
last time was in a pumkin patch i was a little girl im hoping i could go back this year
):)(:(
Is that like a potato gun? Thanks Brian.
Shoot out at the pumpkin patchÉ
That is wrong, Charlie Brown, just wrong!
Would love to see flying pumpkins. A few years back we had a pumpkin patch launching some (Little People Big World) but we never made it out to see it.
that looks kinda fun...hope no one was on the receiving end though :)
Now that is something I have never seen before! A pumpkin blaster (is that what's on the sign?)--ingenious. But will it be a match for the Great Pumpkin ;)
Sounds like you had a lot of fun, Pumpkin.
I've been to a pumpkin patch. But it didn't have a big gun! Hummmm....After the landing there will be seeds sprouting pumpkins someday where you least expect it!
Rick
Splat! Looks like fun!
Hello Brian:)
I can see you had a wonderful time with your family and your post reflects the great fun you had.
Best wishes:)
Joseph
As we passed the pumpkin patch on my way to dropping off stuff at work today, I commented that we needed to do this.
Has been a very long time... and only a quarter of a mile from my workplace. Need to add it to my to do list this year. Sounds like a funfilled day.
My 2 boys love to do this.
Once, just thinks it's dumb.
Me? secretly, I like to do it, too.
WAAAY FUN!!
Happy Sunday, B.
P.S. If you have the time, pls stop over and read the fantastic post at bossy betty.
It is tremendous...one of her best.
I would so love to do that with my godson. What a blast!
Happy SIMC, jj
I've never heard of shooting pumpkins...smiles. Glad you and the boys enjoyed your day.
good grief :D
I miss Pumpkin Patches..they don't have those here in The Netherlands and what a shame it is!
I love pumpkins, Ican't wait to move to Canada to be part for the Halloween fever!
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Oh, this post made me laugh out loud and what a better way to start a mundane Monday morning then with a good laugh.;)
The first picture looks like there is an UFO in the sky, hehe.;)
I am sure this must have been a memorable day for you guys.;)
Have a great day dear Brian,
xo
Cute and fun. I thought the 'thing' in the sky was an air balloon... glad someone pointed it out.
OH MY! My boys would be in HEAVEN to shoot off that pumpkin launcher!!
I think it does disrespect THE GREAT PUMPKIN though...doesn't it?? HA!
;)
Enjoy!! =)
