Apple Orchard

(So it's funny how I mentioned that I hardly ever have a chance to get on the computer to work on pictures and post to the blog...then I suddenly have a ton of opportunities to do so.  At least it's giving me a chance to catch up!)

One thing I wanted to be sure to do with Ann this year was go to an apple orchard/pumpkin patch.  There are several in the surrounding area here, but I decided to go to Sekapp's Orchard, which happens to be the closest to us and the least expensive :)  Ann really enjoyed getting to play around outside and pick out a pumpkin.

There was definitely a wide range of sizes of pumpkins!

It was a bright and sunny afternoon, but that didn't stop this little guy from smiling!  (I love little baby smiles!!  Melts my heart every time...)

Ann on some hay with a pumpkin scare crow.  It was a little windy out, so even though it looks like Ann is channeling the early 90s and only has one side pony-tail, she really had two pig-tails in her hair.

Ann quite enjoyed these cut-outs

Another pretending to be an apple

Lots of pumpkins around on the ground and lots of sun shining in our eyes

Beautiful fall colors

There was a little hay-bale maze set up for younger kids to run around in.  Ann had a great time.  There was also a small corn maze too.

Lots of apple trees around.  We didn't pick any apples from the trees (but we did buy a bag of apples from their store - yummy honey crisp apples I might add).

We went with my mom, so we had her take a picture of me with my two cuties and their pumpkins (any guesses as to whose pumpkin belongs to who?)

There was a big apple statue next to a wagon ride to take people off into the orchard to pick apples.  I don't know why I didn't include the whole apple in the picture - it was probably because I took this picture right as we were leaving and I was holding a fussing Ian.

Walking back to the car.  They had these wagons that people could use to pull their pumpkins/apples/etc.  Ann hitched a ride.
