At the end of the tomato growing season we had a TON of green tomatoes that were part of the freeze this weekend. Not wishing them to go to waste, we were compelled to find an inedible productive use for them. What might one do with over 200 green tomatoes? LAUNCH THEM!We started with a lowly arm-powered launch. Noah could fairly consistently get them over the fence and I could occasionally get them to the pond. With an ever-present desire to upgrade driven by healthy levels of testosterone, the boys bought a sling-shot at Bass Pro yesterday.
In first round of ammo-harvesting, we only gathered small tomatoes that would fit in the ammo-pouch of the slingshot.
Noah sampled a few rounds in the process:
Here are some shots of Noah firing off his first few rounds. We decided to freeze the tomatoes so they'd be rock hard and not tend to squish in the slingshot. Be sure to click on the pictures for a larger view to fully appreciate the look on Noah's face.

Awesome!
I couldn't stop laughing at Dana's expressions of enthusiasm and being out there. She looked absolutely thrilled!
That is awesome!!! Can I come play at your house?

I could not agree with Audrey more on Dana's enthusiasm. I picked up on that right away. I forgot what I was suppose to be watching for! There never seems to be a dull moment at the Bosley house.
