Our Little Punkin'!

Evan's first trip to Apple Annie's up in Willcox didn't thrill him too much. He did love watching the tractors go by. We're hoping he'll now realize that Dad doesn't drive a tractor (he always points to the tractor in one of his books and says "Dad-da").



The weather couldn't have been better (a little overcast for Mom would have made it perfect). The bad weather from Hurricane Norbert blew through our region on Friday and Saturday, so it was relatively chilly (in the upper 60's). You can hear the wind in these clips.



At Apple Annie's, you can pick your own pumpkins and other items such as sunflowers, peppers and squash. We found a decent sized pumpkin that wasn't roughed up too much to carve up for Halloween. There are hayrides that take you further out into the patch and a corn maze to wander through. The best part was the caramel kennel corn for Dad.



It was hard getting Evan to do 2 things at once: stand still and look at the camera. He's caught on to the whole camera thing and wants to hold the camera himself. You can get him to stand still, but he'll be stubborn and not look at the camera.
