Pumpkin Patch 2010

We took two trips to the pumpkin patch this year. They both went fairly well despite Clover's annoyance with the constant picture taking. She made us work hard to get good shots. The first trip was to Remlinger Farms in Carnation. She loved running through the pumpkin fields and also enjoyed the corn maze until Michael decided it was a good idea to run and dive through them..... is he 12? The noise totally freaked her out and I'm pretty sure she is terrified of corn fields now. Hopefully she won't remember next year! Clover wasn't a very big fan of the hayride either.... I think because it was so loud. She whimpered the entire ride and then pointed at the tractor and said "again!" when it was over. Sometimes there is no pleasing her, LOL.
The second trip was to Fall City Farms with some of the Moms and kids from my Stroller Stride workout group. It had chickens and dogs roaming around and a big sandbox. The kids had a blast!

Clover uses her strong muscles to help Daddy carry the pumpkins :P
