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! |

  | 
| 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! |          | 
  | 
| Farm stand under the big tent. |          | 
  | 
| 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. |
