For getting into the fall spirit, I wanted to visit Gilcrease Orchards on the other side of town to pick our own pumpkins! We had never been before but have always heard great things about the orchard.

They have many different fruits and vegetables that they grow year-round. It is mostly an apple orchard, but anyone can go and pick their own fruits and vegetables for a super reasonable price! When we got there, I instantly spotted the apple cider donuts and definitely needed to get some for us to munch on.

After we ate those up (in seriously 2 minutes), we walked down to the pumpkin patch. On our way we saw the apple orchards. There were aisles and aisles of apple trees. We will definitely be going back to pick some of those next year when they are in season! At the very end, we found the pumpkin patch and began our search for the perfect pumpkins. There were quite a few gone since we went only a few days before Halloween, but we ended up finding ones exactly like we wanted. I wanted Cinderella pumpkins, and Jason wanted to get a reject pumpkin: large, veiny and ugly. He definitely found one! And of course, we had to get a baby pumpkin for Harley.

We loved everything about Gilcrease Orchard and I can't wait to make this a family tradition for us every fall!

For Halloween, our best friends invited us to spend the night Trick or Treating, snacking and hanging out with them at their house (which is about three seconds away from ours). Scarlett was the most adorable Tinkerbell ever, and somehow, these are the only pictures I got of her that night. Our neighborhoods are great during Halloween and make it super fun for the kids, so it was fun walking around with them for the night!

And finally, we always let Harley dress up for Halloween every year. Usually we are pretty creative and go all out... but this year Halloween kind of snuck up on us to prepare his costume. So, he ended up being a tourist in Hawaii since he was so jealous he missed out when we went for our honeymoon! His shirt and his lei are actually gifts we brought back from Hawaii for him, so he's pretty official!
