The Pumpkin Regatta
As promised....the story of floating vegetables! Apparently, every year in Windsor, Nova Scotia (about an hour west of Halifax), they have a pumpkin regatta. This involves a pumpkin weigh off (this year's winner came in at a whopping 1202 lbs) and lots of fair-like activities. There's a picture of the winner and his pumpkin below from the website since we weren't there for the weigh-off. 
Not only do they do crazy things like grow ridiculously large pumpkins, but they actually paint their huge pumpkins and race them by paddling them across a lake! See the video and pictures below. Although it rained most of the time, we had a little bit of sun just for the race. Can't get much more unique than that for a Sunday afternoon, eh?

Dude...I've got to start that tradition in Little Rock! Except it would be more like, paint up your rusted car parked in the front yard with no wheels, and see who can tump it over first. Glad to see you two are doing well and having fun. We miss Kayaks with y'all. ld
Wow, I'd always wanted to move to Canada, until I saw that post. ;)
