Back in October (which feels like a lifetime ago now), we went to the Gilcrease Orchard to pick pumpkins. Tom's mom came with us this time as Tom was taking a 5 week course through a professional organization and wasn't able to come. It was a super windy day, just like when we'd gone a year ago.
Both Ann and Ian picked out a pumpkin pretty quickly
Ann picked a pretty big one
We brought along our stroller - this time not to push a child but for the sole purpose of carting around the pumpkins. The orchard does have some wheelbarrows that visitors can borrow, but it is super busy there on the weekends in October and you can't count on any being available.

After getting and paying for the pumpkins, we got in the long line to get some apple cider donuts. We left Grandma in line and I took Ann and Ian over here to take a few pictures. They were getting antsy waiting in line - though as you can tell, they weren't super stoked about the idea of getting their picture taken either. Notice Ian's awesome wind-blown hair.
They did have fun sitting in the wheelbarrows that were sitting nearby
We finally got some yummy, fresh-made apple cider donuts!

After we got home, Ann said she wanted to decorate her pumpkin with markers. I asked if she would rather carve her pumpkin this year and she said no. We'll see when (if ever) she changes her mind and would rather carve them instead of just drawing all over the pumpkins.
