Pumpkins and crawling



Where's Kate?


Hold on to your shoes! Hide your breakables! Return all coffee mugs to their rightful place on top of tables and counters! Guess who's crawling? Good guess. Yes, Claire is finally getting somewhere when she gets up on all fours. For the past couple of weeks she would crawl a pace and then collapse on her belly. She got around a bit doing this (i.e., she wouldn't always be in the same place that you left her if you walked away for a bit), but now she is full up crawling. She must have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. It's amazing the things kids can do after a good nap or a long nights' sleep.

Yesterday we went to Apple Annie's orchard in Willcox. Fields and fields of pumpkins! Corn! Hay rides! Sunflowers! It was wonderful. Last year we went and it was freezing (probably like 55* or something silly like that), so we were prepared this year. And of course it was 75* and I was roasting. A group of us went, including my sister and her family, and Dana and her family. Kate and Eric waited for the great pumpkin together last October, but this year they were more interested in playing in the dirt.




Hayride.

Remember the Great Pumpkin, Kate?



Let's go find him again!

Playing in the dirt is better than waiting for the Great Pumpkin.

that looks like so much fun! We will have to head out there soon. I love that Kate has a little boyfriend. Claire is not far behind now that she is crawling :0)

So cute. I love the orange sweatshirts! I'm going to try and go to a corn maze this weekend. It sounds like so much fun. :)

How fun! Great pictures, too! Personally I'm hooked on their apple bread and kettle corn. We were just there 2 weeks ago! Congrats to Claire on becoming mobile! :)
