Discovery Science Center Pumpkin Launch

A typical Friday evening I am on my cell searching for "things to do in SoCal this weekend" and I came across the Discovery Science Centers Annual Pumpkin Launch at CSUF this past weekend!  We had nothing on the books so after a YUMMY brunch together we headed over just in time to see the pumpkins start flying.  It was so much fun to see the 18 contestants and their catapults launch them across the intramural fields.  There were 3  distance levels and 5 rounds for points.  A 9th grader was shooting them the farthest and the engineering students from Chapman could barely get them off the tee.  As Gus says - don't over think it!  Tay cheered for each launch and then said "MORE PUMPKINS!"  By round 3 he was over it and we headed home for naps.  Next year we will sign him up for all the fun experiments they had for the kids, this is such a cool family (FREE) event, a Lombardo tradition for sure!
