The Pumpkin Patch

Our oldest daughter had her first ever field trip with school. It was extra special because she wanted mommy and little sister to join her on this trip. We went to a pumpkin patch, out in the country, not far from our town. A slide, corn maze, hay bale playground and a corn filled stock tank were all included in the fun, as well as being able to pick and cut their very own pumpkin from the field. The kids got to learn a great deal about growing pumpkins and squash and gourds and in the end eat some yummy pumpkin bars. It was a lot of fun...and A LOT of kids! I have so much appreciation for kindergarten teachers!! I think the adults were more exhausted than any of the kids by the time we got home.
