Pumpkin Racing

Last year we came across the great pumpkin race at Manhattan Beach and it was such great fun that we decided to go back again this year. We had full intention of racing our own pumpkin this time, but getting a late start and having very slow service at brunch prevented us. Instead, we enjoyed watching other pumpkins race and non-pumpkins getting smashed.

Racing pumpkins with a view of the Pacific...nice!


The refs are such entertainers


Check out the rolling angry bird pumpkin!


Monster pumpkin (and the mascot for this year's race)


Riding the great wave, too bad Sophie burned her arm going down


We borrowed props from the pirate taking our picture


En garde


The friendly pirate...it's a coincidence that the lady on TV is wearing the same pirate he has in his hand


The pirate has two kids of his own, also 5 and 3.5 and was really nice to the kids. He even let them stab him a couple times.
