On Friday, the Tucson cousins and Grandma Wilkes went to Apple Annie's to pick pumkins. It's a huge orchard/produce patch where you can load up your wagons with lots of fresh, home-grown veggies and fruits.
The weather couldn't have been more beautiful!
Here's Sariah climbing in and out of the little pumpkin-picking cart:
Peter was SO great with Sariah. He pulled her along in the cart the entire way, what a trooper!
All along the way, there were lines of vegetables you could pick such as green chillies, squash, etc. I couldn't believe how big the squash was, so we compared it to Emerson:
Here is the pumpkin patch! Off in the distance is Chris and 3 of his boys: Collin, Derek, and Brandon.
Brandon was so cute - he was so proud of himself for finding these tiny pumpkins.
Our little wanderer. She didn't care too much for picking the pumpkins...she just wanted to wander and explore!
Mommy and daughter (before my haircut!):
Back at the entrance, there was a cute little farmer's market with everything from green beans to apple butter. YUM!
Cute boys!
We had a lot of fun, picked some wonderful produce, and came home exhausted. In fact, Sariah and I enjoyed it so much that we took Jared and went again Saturday morning!
This day wasn't so beautiful. The temperature had dropped 20 degrees, and it was raining. Did that stop us? Nope! Did Sariah care? Nope!
First stop: The orchard for a pancake breakfast. Here's dad eating his pancakes:
GREATEST little shoppe with unbelievable fudge:

Sariah and Dad...what a pair...
The most interesting thing that happened was on the way home. Normally, it takes about 75 minutes to get over there. On the way home, traffic came to a dead STOP.
After 15 minutes, people started getting out of their cars.
I called a radio station...a car accident 5 miles up the road, and the freeway was CLOSED.
For how long, I asked? No idea, the guy said.
Then...a girl got out of her van, set up the laptop, and started to surf the web!
2 hours later, we were rolling and came home safely.
Here's the girl with the laptop. It's hard to see, but you can see the door open. If you click on the picture for a bigger view, you can see her:
We made it home, crashed for a nap, and enjoyed our pumpkins. This will definitely become a family tradition!

That looks like so much fun!!! I've never been and I really want to go! Maybe I'll take my little one next year! ;)
I don't know what time you were coming home, but we saw that same accident! We were traveling home from Safford around 4:30 and saw a sign that there was an accident ahead. Thankfully, it only stopped east bound traffic (not our side) when we passed it. It was backed up for 8 full miles east bound. (I counted!) Sorry you got stuck in it! I'm surprised that girl got reception or internet connection in that area. Funny story!
