Evan's class has been talking and reading and painting about pumpkins for weeks, and it was all leading up to a school field trip to the Pumpkin Patch! About 15 kids, their parents, and teachers all went to a farmfield for a morning of fun. This Patch is geared toward toddlers, with a fenced in play area full of small slides, tricycles, a play house, and a cornbox (a sandbox, but filled with dry corn). Evan loved the playhouse, but also loved the horse-on-a-stick and tried feeding it corn from the cornbox! Everyone pulled each other around in wagons and wheelbarrows - great teamwork. We took a nice long hayride around the field and visited the animals: pigs, sheep, chickens, donkey, horse, goats, and huge fluffy bunnies. After lunch and lots more playtime, all the kids got to pick out a pumpkin to take home. Everyone got along super well - no meltdowns or fights or anything. You can tell they all have fun at school and their teachers are doing a great job! The trip back to school though was a tough one - Evan desperately wanted to sleep, but we sang songs super loud so he wouldn't fall asleep until he got on his mat in class, where he immediately crashed. What a fun day out with friends!
