Lots o' Pumpkins

Two pumpkin patches in one weekend! Chad had his field trip at Baggenstoes Farm, where he picked out a pumpkin and learned about potatoes. The next morning, we got up and headed out for another one. We have been to Lakeview Farms 5 years in a row, how could we not go again this year? You take a train ride out to the patch, find a pumpkin, and head back on a boat. Although this year, they slipped in a little surprise. All of you Oregonians should stop reading now, if you don't want a spoiler. The mechanical shark sprays water, lots of water, right at you. On dry land, we managed to slip past the face painting booth without the kids noticing (really long line). But we could not escape the caterpillar ride, not that we would want to.
