Pumpkinfest 2006

Over the weekend we met up with our friends at the chaos called Pumpkinfest on the Boston Commons. It was a nice day, but tons of people and pumpkins made things a bit crowded. When we found our friends, Brady was again instantly rattled by the screech of Joey "The Raptor" Florendo, named for his obscenely high pitched communication method. He settled down just in time for us to head out to dinner in Chinatown -- likely the only place that would take our gang, which consisted of 3 strollers, 2 toddlers, 3 less-than-one-year-olds, and 8 adults.

Added all together and what you get are chopsticks used as drumsticks, Brady randomly crying non-stop , Joey startling the table behind him with ear-piercing screeches, Isaac and Sammy having a blast playing with each other, and McNeany and Heidi just adding to their list of "reasons why we ain't in a rush to have kids."

A fun time though nonetheless as it's always good to try to get out with friends when you can.

Here are some pictures to commemorate the occasion.

Initially, Irene and Brady were not too impressed with the conversation of those around them

When Brady got up close, he was initially scared of the big bad stuffed scarecrow

Upon closer investigation though, he noticed he was smiling

I have no idea who these kids are, but they looked like they were having fun
Brady is still a pip squeek compared to Joey
Lesson: your child may become possessed...
