My First Pumpkin


Kellen's 1st pumpkin search!
We heard wonderful things about Spooner Farms in Orting
so we knew we had to go for Kellen's first pumpkin.
First, I have to start by saying, Jason's phone was acting up so his GPS wasn't working so he called Verizon and had them try to fix it all while I'm driving towards that area.
We knew how to get to Orting so I just kept driving down 167, then to 410, got off of the
Orting exit and drove a few minutes all the meanwhile mad at Jason 'cause his phone is still not working and we need to get to the pumpkin patch soon! 
I pulled over and called Sandra, the ARNP I work for, who got on her computer and helped talk us through this tough time Jason & I were bickering about.  She told us to stay on the road we were on and we should run into it.  After I hung up the phone with her, we pulled back on the road and drove a few more feet (literally) and it was there on our right!!  Needless to say, we laughed and I couldn't be mad at his phone anymore.
So when we got there, we knew we were going to let Kellen pick out
his own pumpkin.  We put him down on the ground, let him crawl around and the
first pumpkin he went to touch was his.
We had a blast & will definately be going back next year.
Enjoy some memorable pics of our first pumpkin patch outing as a family.

The ONE!



1 on 1 bonding time with his new pumpkin in the wheelbarrow!
Yummy!!



Visiting the animals.  Felt just like Grandpa's house.


Until next year....

What a great day it was! Looks like everybody had a blast and little Kellen enjoyed picking that first pumpkin. I bet he had fun ripping the guts out of the carved pumpkin and making pumpkin seeds. Tons of great memories and great parents you are. Keep up the great work!
