I hope everyone had a wonderful experience on our field trip! It was cold, but I am so happy it didn't rain on us! Thank you to ALL the moms who came along & helped so much! It was fun to have you with us. You made this field trip a success! :)
Our "tractor" ride out to the pumpkin patch is my favorite part. The orchards were lovely & in spite of the chill, the scenery is/was beautiful.
Once we reached the Pumpkin Fields some of us took a quick picture as Pumpkin Heads...
Sadly, it took a little longer to find Healthy Small pumpkins....We all headed out searching for just the right one. We noticed how some pumpkins were smashed & their seeds were oozing out onto the ground. Nathan discovered a huge slug feasting on rotten pumpkin. I think we'd all agree that an early frost ruins pumpkins.
The ride back to the barn seemed to pass too quickly. We sang a couple of songs. I changed the Speckled Frog song a bit to adapt to our surroundings. There were some cute smiles as I sang.
We were rewarded for braving the cold with yummy Pumpkin Spice Donuts. It was nice to warm up inside the barn before going home. I hope everyone had a fun visit in their cars. I enjoyed the observations the children in my car made & the exchange of giggles :)And, hopefully, all of the parents heard some positive reports of our adventure...just like Sarah did...
