Pumpkin Patch

On Monday, Lauren had her flu shot. Poor thing was so upset....she was napping and she woke up as we went into a room. She lost it when the nurse put the infamous blue gloves on. And then when the pants came down.....Oh boy! So to make up for it, we headed out to the pumpkin patch, Hunter Farms, which is just north of Shelton and I think it's considered part of the little town of Union, WA.

When we got there the tractor has just taken a group out...the place was crawling with school aged kids! One of the workers said that the weekend had been hectic and this was quiet. They'd made over $5000 on Sunday alone. They only charge $2 a person for the tractor ride and kids 3 and under are free.....so that's a LOT of people! The weather has been nice, cold but clear blue sky, so who could blame people!

Here Lauren is with the friendly chicken. Her name was Judge Judy.


Then she found a large pumpkin!


The girl caught Judge Judy for Lauren to pet. The problem was that she wanted to get eye level...and since her incident with the duck I wasn't very trusting of the chicken!


She found a bunch of little pumpkin that were just right for her to pack around.

Here we are on the tractor ride. It was just the 2 of us which was great!

The tractor started and this is Lauren saying "Whoa!"

Then she realized there were better seats.....she really liked the edge but don't worry mom had a hand around the ankle while snapping the pic. Multitasking!

Once we got off the wagon, she just started running. We went all the way to the back near the trees. The pumpkins were pretty worked over from the large weekend crowd.

Here Lauren is with her pumpkin.

Realizing it's a little to heavy! She sat it down shortly after and mom had to carry it back to the tractor!

Once home, Lauren had passed out with her granola bar in hand in her car seat. With the flu shot and and exciting adventure, she napped for 2 hours! What a day!
