The Harvest Party!

Drumrole please!...... Finally! The next post is here! Sorry it took so long everybody. A big thank you to Hannah Hanson for the pictures!

Well, the pie contest was a big hit. About 20 pies were entered and our lovely photographer (Hannah Hanson) won first prize with her artistic idea: chocolate leaves! Not only did it taste awesome, it was ruly a gorgeous pie! Good job Hannah! Runners up were Elise Haugaard with 2nd place for her yummy apple pie (i think apple, right?), and Laura Dubs for 3rd with a blueberry pie. Good job you guys! I want those recipes! =) Thanks to Rachel Hanson who put together the pie contest, and Hannah Hanson who helped out! (and if you were wondering... no, as much as she begged, Melissa didn't get to eat all the pie... maybe next time 'Lissa)

As always, there were numerous games of volleyball and football. As to who won what... that's always to be debated. There was one game that was stunning victory for four guys against a whole team of girls... Oooh, ouch. Try as we might, we couldn't beat them. But that's probably just because we were all laughing too hard.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the Hay Ride at the moment. So if any of you have any, please send me a few to post on my blog. The hay ride was packed even more than usual this year. We had people hanging off the side of the wagon holding onto aything they could find. There was a lot of singing and laughing. We didn't stay out in the field as long as usual, but it was fun to play tag...even if we were getting touched every other second! Then it was back again to warm up by the bonfire.

Thanks to the Haugaards for getting everything set up! Can't wait for next year!
