How to properly dispose of pumpkins after Halloween...

Our family and some of our friends went out yesterday to the grasslands and had our "2nd annual pumpkin blow out". To prepare for it, I went to Walmart this week and loaded my car with 40 pumpkins. We had great weather,which is a bonus because it is normally pretty cold and windy out there this time of year. There were about 20 of us who attended and participated. We set up the pumpkins filled with tannerite (an explosive powder you mix together and put with whatever you are blowing up and it explodes when a high velocity bullet hits it) so everyone could have a turn. Please enjoy the video.

After the pumpkins were disintegrated, we set up a place for the kids to shoot some of the 22's, then we did a "closest to the bullseye" competition with prizes, and finally some skeet shooting. It was a good time and I think everyone had fun. Gotta love blowing things up!!!!

Sounds like a good time Cee Cee. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the video. Maybe something's messed up with my computer. I'll try again later.
