This morning, we headed to Cambridge to Center Grove Orchard to pick apples and pumpkins for the season. Carter was in a mood, but slowly worked herself out of it once we got there. Who could resist the fun?!?
Carter and I in our farm gear
Carter sits upon a throne of pumpkins. Green ones - weird huh? They had a ton of variety!
While Daddy and Rory paid for our hayrack stickers, Andy, Carter and I found a snack to brighten her mood. Caramel apples always hit the spot!
All smiles now! We boarded the hay-rack and headed to the corn maze
Smile!
Our traditional "corny" photo - ahh cha cha!
The crew working through the maze.
It's a"maze"ing we didn't get lost!
Carter checked out the massive pumpkin patch. She liked this one because it was "a big ol', big ol', big ol' punkin!"
Rory, Andy, Andy and Carter (with her "flower") riding over to the "jumping pillow," the first in Iowa
This thing is crazy! Think trampoline, but more fun! My jumps would cause a ripple effect, making Carter bounce without really bouncing. This was the case for everyone! A determined jumper could knock us all of balance, and when you fell, you'd just keep being bounced! It was hilarious!

Carter's ready to pick apples! It was difficult for her because the good apples were all so high, but we searched and she found a couple she could pick. She was upset (because it was 1:30 and she hadn't had a nap) that she couldn't just eat the apples. So dinner this evening will consist of freshly picked apples and Grandma's apple dip! Yummy!
Carter spies an eye-level apple
She didn't pick the crab apples, but she was sure starting to act like one! The orchard was beautiful, and, even with the occasional pout, Carter had a ball!
Her prize red apple! She's so proud she found a "really red!" apple of her own!
