With cooler temperatures and a steady breeze, Robert E. Willis Elementary School students had to be creative when it came to the pumpkin balance race.
The wind was too strong to allow the students to balance a pumpkin on the top of their heads, so they had to find other ways to carry the pumpkin to a cone and back to the start during the school's fall field day Nov. 21.
Fifth grader Tatiana Ebert chose to balance the small pumpkin between her shoulder and neck.
Fifth grader Sofia Velez decided to use the clip on her student ID badge to hold onto the pumpkin.
Other students were putting it on their backs, and some tried to balance it on their heads despite the wind.
The races brought out students' competitive spirits in various stations. Other stations included fishing for apples, sack races, a pumpkin race and a bucket toss.
