Annual Huber's Pilgrimage

Pumpkin field

Yep, it's that time of year again! Last Sunday, we made the annual fall trip to Huber's farm to pick pumpkins and apples. We had a yummy lunch at the Huber family restaurant to stock up on energy for our undertakings. Here is our afternoon in photos:

It was a beautiful and cool, crisp, fall day.

Beautiful day

Caleb hitched a ride with Mom, while the rest of us rode the wagon out to the pumpkin patch and apple orchard.

With the breeze it was somewhat chilly, which warranted the monkey hat for Little Man.

Now, on to the task of choosing a pumpkin.

Scouring the pumpkin field

Shiloh marched straight through the pumpkin patch for about 10 minutes without even stopping to investigate any of the pumpkins. She then stopped suddenly, knelt down, and declared, "This one!"

This is the one!

I liked this one.

Yes, Shiloh's pumpkin could eat my pumpkin.

Nick's mom went with us again this year. Shiloh simply adores her MawMaw.

We attempted a family photo here, but Shiloh was sullen over having gotten some of the tiny, sharp needles from the pumpkin plants in her hand.

So we moved on to the apple orchard.

Red and green

The red apples had some sore of blight on all of them. Look at Nick's disgusted face!

Eww, gross!

We picked apples up high...

... and Shiloh found the "most perfect" apple of all!

See my perfect apple??

This is what happens when your little apple picker isn't ready to stop picking and decides to pout. Can you spot her?

We attempted one more family photo:
