Apple Picking

We went to Larriland Farms on Sunday morning, about an hour northwest of us, to pick apples and vegetables.  And to acquire pumpkins.  Oh the pumpkins.

Apple picking itself was moderately entertaining.

Big haul of greens:

The squashes were the big hit with Ava.

 Many pumpkins needed to be pat:

These days Ava enjoys transferring objects from one place to another.  In particular she enjoyed transferring pumpkins out of the bins into Mommy's arms, and eventually a basket.

One pumpkin...

Two pumpkins...

...we let it continue a little past four sugar pumpkins, but we only brought home two of these.

Ava didn't convince us on this trip that we needed armloads of decorative mini pumpkins and gourds, but maybe on another trip this fall she'll succeed.

Listening to the ducks and geese on the pond:

Crawling out a little energy before putting her back in the car for an hour:

Pleased that a few pumpkins made it back to the porch:
