Tradition || Apple Annie's Pumpkins and Apple Orchard

Every October since my parents moved back to Arizona, we have traveled to Willcox to visit Apple Annie's Produce & Pumpkins and Apple Orchard.  Since we don't experience Fall like the rest of the country, this trip marks the official change of season for me.  Now I can officially go pumpkin wild!

Not to break with tradition, we made the annual trip this past weekend to pick out pumpkins, produce, and eat the necessary staples: kettle corn, pumpkin ice cream, and apple cider doughnuts.  Sharing this tradition with my niece now makes these trips even more special. 

The real reason Josh takes the trip: kettle corn!

We tried the maze one year, that was more than enough for our lifetime.

















         

This ham LOVES the pumpkin patch...

...almost as much as she loves her momma!











       

Another tradition: portraits at the patch.



       

My favorite flower.
       

Really, he loves his kettle corn!

GIANT pumpkins!       

She's quite pleased with her picks.       

Fresh, organic produce for the picking.       

I love baby pumpkins!

Bargain!       

It took a couple takes...       

...but we finally got it! Our best one yet.       

The REAL reason we go down the road to the apple orchard: pumpkin ice cream...       

...and apple cider doughnuts!       

Looks like Fall at the orchard.
