2nd Annual “Missionary Pumpkin Carving Contest”
For the second time we had all of the full-time missionaries in our area come over for a Pumpkin Carving Contest. There were some pretty impressive entries this year. We had Elders: Del La Mare, Smith, Carter, Crosby, Hardman & Carnley.
Liz's friend, Alycia
Liz, Alycia, Elder Del La Mare and Elder Carnley all worked on one pumpkin...they took turns.
PJ worked with Elder Carter...
Oops...Liz hurt Elder Del La Mare...
PJ and Elder Carter got very serious about their carving.
Elder Crosby was deserted by Donovan...but he did an amazing job on his own.
Megan and Ashley...
Elder Smith has got some mad skills. He plays the sax, the guitar, the piano, sings...I don't know what else.
Mikayla watching all of the action...she didn't get her hands into the pumpkin...
Daniel with "Mr. Frank"...where is Dylan??
Alycia and Liz...
Working hard...
Liz and Elder Del La Mare
Frank...I love parties!
Elder Hardman worked with our neighbor, Daniel.
Donovan worked with Elder Crosby - for a short time - and then took off and left him on his own.
Elder Smith provided entertainment while Ashley did most of the work on their pumpkin...Megan and Mikayla provided some assistance and supervision.
Elder Crosby's masterpiece...Donovan doesn't get much credit...but he still had fun...
WOW! Elder Crosby...
Ashley (with Elder Smith) did most of the work on this pumpkin...we were very impressed!
Ashley's Masterpiece...
Elder Carter and PJ...
PJ and Elder Carter: A Wolf eating a can of beans (not sure why they were beans)....

Elder Carter's name on the side...
Alycia and Liz with their "classic" pumpkin...you HAVE to have one of those each year!
The team effort: Elder Carnley, Alycia, Elder De La Mare & Liz....
The team effort: Elder Carnley, Alycia, Elder De La Mare & Liz....the "Mer-man"...they got a stencil off of the Internet.
Our Spanish-speaking Elders: Carnley and Hardman. Elder Hardman did all of the work on this one. He got a late start too and finished it very quickly...can you tell what it is?
For the Slade Family - Elder Hardman was in Jody (Joe) Slade's ward back in Utah! Small World!
