We picked out Carter's pumpkin today. It's a special one, because she picked it our herself from the orchard!
We drove to Center Grove Orchard, north of Ankeny about 10 miles. Before choosing just the perfect pumpkin, we took the tractor ride from the entrance about a mile toward the back of the orchard, and manuevered around the corn maze. Andy and Carter led the way ... and we did have to turn around from a few dead ends! But we did make it out! Carter played with the straw and hay, and we took the tractor back. The trees and leaves were all changing colors, and it was beautiful! Next, we had a quick snack - a carmel apple and apple cider! YUM! We got to pet the animals, and then chose a pumpkin perfect for Our Pumpkin! It was a fun-filled fall afternoon!

Carter's cider. Despite the death-glare on her face, she liked the treat and had a blast! So, I never want to hear, "she's not naughty!" ever again!
Carter loved the animals
... especially the piggys
Punky picks her pumpkin!
