Daniel and I took a road trip to Tuscaloosa this weekend to carve pumpkins with Ben and Sarah. Ben and I did discuss at one point, that if someone had told our fifteen year old selves, that one day we would be carving pumpkins together in Alabama, both with American other halves, we would have found that hard to believe. But anyway, on with the pumpkins..
Daniel and Sarah dig in:
Jazzie came too, she kept a close eye on the neighbourhood squirrels:
I don't think Ben had ever carved a pumpkin before, obviously not too impressed with the process:
Sarah became fed up with his lack of enthusiasm:
Just kidding:
I think we started drinking at about this point, so I put my camera away and used the iphone to record the results.
Sarah's (did I mention she's an artist?)
Daniel and Sarah proudly display their efforts:
That was it for the pumpkins, after that we moved inside, and i wowed them with my secret recipe of butter/garlic stuffed hamburgers.
But this morning, after a massive breakfast, we headed to the University where Sarah is teaching for a semester, and had a look around.
Iron Giant sculpture:
The obligatory iphone self-portraits:
Impressive buildings:
And that was it, then we got in the car and drove five long hours home.
