ZUCCHINI #1: The Tsangs
A second floor apartment, with lights out.. piece of cake!
Here's the prep:
And here's the drop..
Oddly, some ornamental animals were having a party
on their doormat. We'll have to ask them about that.

ZUCCHINI #2: Gimpel the Fool (The Owens)
After 5 years of this, he really vowed to catch us.. and we really believed him this time. So we did an end run and made the drop on his back porch. *evil grin*
We made a last minute change to the note in order to emphasize the sneaky drop site.
Hm... the fence has been rebuilt and we can't just hop it anymore.
Fortunately, there is a handy gate for us.

Whew... after sneaking across their backyard to a dimly lit,
unwatched back porch, we made the drop without detection.
(But Daphne was still so nervous she chopped off my head in the picture.)
Final Score: Closes - 6, Gimpel - 0!

ZUCCHINI #3: The Chans
The lights were out so it was easy drop off, but as we were backing out of their driveway, they came driving up in their car! "Are you putting cucumbers at our door?" Velda accused. "No," I innocently replied (because it's zucchini, of course). "We were in the neighborhood and we thought we'd drop by." With a sleight of hand, we removed the zucchini which was not an easy task since we all entered through the front door! After hanging out for a bit, we departed... and completed our mission for the second time. :)
ZUCCHINI #4: Mike Wu
Mike's house has motion sensing lights for the driveway and the front porch,
so we made use of the light for better photos.

And the drop..
What a fun night! It took about two hours to make the four drops which
were all around the south bay. And boy are we now tired! Good night, all.
ADDENDUM
So we got Gimpel again, but he got us this time too. :) (Read his story.)
The next morning we woke up and saw this on our back porch:
The kids made a Papier-mâché zucchini. Isn't that cool!
And the whole family signed it.
Lotsa fun for the whole family!
