Pumpkin Race

Hi everyone. We haven't been up to much the past couple weeks, so there really hasn't been anything exciting to post until now. On Sunday we drove up to Cooperstown where each year they have a big pumpkin festival. On Saturday they weighed the pumpkins and handed our ribbons and such, then on Sunday they carve all these massively huge pumpkins and hollow them out and race them on the lake. They use kayak paddle and people actually get in the pumpkins. I took some photos of the race but they didn't turn out so well, then I remembered that we can take video on our camera, so I recorded some of the race, and that's below. It was pretty sweet.







Then last night, Monday, we went over to a friends house to watch a presentation by this woman Elie, who spent 6 months on a research vessel in the Arctic in the middle of winter. Frozen in the ice and drifting where ever the ice wanted to drift. It was pretty interesting. We were her test audience, as she'll be giving the presentation in New York City, Paris, and Oslo, Norway in the coming months. I'm not sure what she does, she's not a scientist, but she travels alot all over the place. Anyways, that's what we've been up to.

Hi everyone.

So last weekend we finished the showtime house project. It's a $22 million, too many rooms to count four story with an elevator amazing house. Unfortunately, no pictures yet, bu you can go to: http://www.sho.com/site/showtimehouse/home.do and check it out. They have some videos and stuff of some of the rooms, so it's pretty interesting. The opening party was on Tuesday, Colleen and I stayed here and babysat our bosses daughter for the night while they were down in NYC at the opening party. One of our bosses, Tiffany, does some work for this company called The Brelli, which makes bio-degradable umbrellas, and the head of that company went with them and brought her good friend Jamie Lee Curtis along for fun. Our bosses said that everyone was trying to kiss her butt at the party but she wasn't really paying attention from what we heard. Anyways, they had fun, and we had fun playing with their daughter. On labor day we went for a little walk and here are some pictured from it. Other than that, we're not up to much. Getting excited for our concert on Wednesday night, which I hope will be alot of fun. Bye for now.
