Pumpkin Carving

Carving Owen's pumpkin was fun! He calls it a "ball" and liked tapping on it until we cut it open. He touched the "guts" just once then was afraid to look in it.

And we had to take a picture with the lights out!

Apple Orchard & Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday, October 18th we visited Apple Jack's Orchard in Delano, MN. We decide to go there because of the many things they have...an apple orchard, a pumpkin patch, a petting zoo, a corn maze, hay rides, and many other things for kids to do. They are located on the Crow River and have some beautiful scenery.

Owen is crawling through a hollow log...


Having fun out in the apple orchard...we decided to pick our own!

Looking for a pumpkin...found some warted ones.
We couldn't find what we wanted in the pre-picked area...so we travelled to the pumpkin patch. Owen decided to do the "sit-test" on the pumpkins. He actually started bouncing on them!

At last, we found the perfect pumpkin for Halloween 2009!

Fall Pictures

We used the same photographer and park in Monticello...here are just a couple.
