Children swim with a flotilla of floating pumpkins last Friday

“I want this one!” a girl announces to her mom as she chooses a pumpkin in the Si View Pool.

Si View’s annual floating pumpkin patch was open for business Friday afternoon, Oct. 24, giving children and parents a chance to plunge into pumpkins, swim in the dark, and watch a Halloween-themed movie.

Costumed lifeguards kept an eye on the swimmers, including one in the pool, shark fin perched on her head.
