Ella practices driving for the first time inside the gates.

The next morning, we head to Burt's Pumkpin Farm.

The annual hay ride.

Next up: two apple orchards,

first for the petting zoos,

Then the playgrounds.

Finally, we go picking.

A little shoppin,

Then we head back to Big Canoe.

Ella drives again.

That night, it is so cold on the coffee porch that Pop has to break out Gaby's poncho.
