One of my FAVORITE things to do each Fall is to take the kids to Gilcrease Orchard and let them pick out their own pumpkin to carve or decorate. However, this year was EXTRA special because...
Gilcrease held a special event one Saturday where they had several different children's book authors you could meet. Demarie's DREAM is to be an author and illustrator someday so she was very excited to meet some REAL LIVE authors! Demarie has already written several chapter book SERIES (and they are amazing!). We bought a few of their books and got their autographs. This lady was especially sweet to Demarie. Her name is Leslie Gillette and she wrote a book called "Coco's Identity Crisis." She talked to Demarie about following her dream and gave us the card of the publishing company she goes through. I'm sure someday Leslie will be honored that she met the famous author Demarie Sue Harris!
We found some fun picture stations set up so we stopped to pose!
We loved trying to find our way out of the straw maze. Has anyone seen Demarie???
And now...Finding the PERFECT pumpkin!
Demarie thought this bright orange pumpkin was PERFECT for her!
Preslyn was excited to find her PERFECT pumpkin!
Broyden said his was "HEAVY!" but it was PERFECT for his size!
The search was a success! Time to go home and decorate!
Instead of carving, we decided to paint our pumpkins this year
THREE PERFECT LITTLE PUMPKINS!
