Wordless Wednesday - Pumpkin Cannon!
Wednesday October 8, 2008
This weekend we walked a volkswalk at Heiser Farms Pumpkin Patch and enjoyed the Oregon countryside. Back at the farm, we pet the animals in the petting zoo, avoided getting lost in the hay maze or corn maze, chowed down on pumpkin pie, and then watched the Duck Hunter pumpkin cannon in action. It fires pumpkins as far as 1500 feet! While they easily took out the closer barrel pyramid, several shots missed the barely-visible barrels in the distance. We also enjoyed the giant Hay Spider.

That seems like a whole lotta fun!
