Vaccinations; Cows and Kid on the same day!

Part of the dairy farm routine and care is the bi-monthly visit by our veterinarian to pregnancy check cows and heifers, and give vaccinations to calves when needed.  Yesterday was vet day.  Our vet appointment is normally at the end of the day, when milking is just about complete, that way Dominic can hold back any cows that need to be checked. 

Not only was it vaccination day at the farm, it was also Paige's scheduled well check and immunization appointment at her pediatrician's office.  I didn't tell her about the appointment until about an hour before we were to leave for the appointment.  Why?  Because Paige, and I'm sure all kids, tend to have anxiety when they know they're going to the doctor's office.  As soon as she found out where we were headed, she began quizzing me on if she was going to receive 'shots'. 

She needed to have three injections.  Now she's good until next summer when she'll receive her last three.  I think a large sized treat is always in order after this type of appointment.  Applebee's is right across the street from the pediatrician's office and that's where we headed as soon as Paige's tears calmed down.

The promise of lunch at a restaurant and an ice cream sundae was enough to make Paige feel much better about the three shots she just received.....thankfully.

She ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with a side of fruit salad. 

I ordered a half turkey club and asian chicken crunch salad for myself.

And we finished the afternoon meal off with an oreo cookie ice cream sundae.  Paige was generous enough to share with her mom....lucky me.

This sundae went down lightening fast!  So fast in fact, I almost forgot to snap some photos of it.  Hmmm, maybe because I was looking forward to the sundae even more than Paige was:) 

Bye for now, I'm off to the Hill Top to meet my boot camp class for cocktails.

Happy Friday!
