As you may recall back in 2003, Brian, Lisa, Ichiro, Inu and I headed to Keene, NH for there annual Pumpkin Festival. This is where they would try to beat the Guinness World Record for the total number of lit jack-o’-lanterns in one space. The year we went there was a new record, having a total of 28,952 lit pumpkins!
So I thought this might be something fun to do with Noby this year. Not that he would really remember it but seeing that I love all things “fall” and that it was a good excuse to get outside, I talked Ichiro into going. Neither one of us looked forward to the 2 hour car ride but he agreed we could go. During one of my many hours of surfing the internet this week I found that Boston is now joining the fight for the Guinness World Record. Last year was the first year Boston had the event and they broke the record with a total of 30,128 jack-o’-lanterns! This was such a find, we could have the same fun and save the 2 hour drive!!! YEAH ME!
I’ll let you know how many jack-o’-lanterns they ended up with this year but until then check out some of our pictures from tonight!!

Daddy and Noby checking out the pumpkins.
OK, here’s one with mom, I had to put this one so you could see his little shirt. Everyone kept telling us we had the cutest pumpkin there! 🙂
After the pumpkins, we headed to Faneuil Hall so mom and dad could get some dinner. Noby did NOT like the cobble stone walkways!
