Preschool Pumpkin Patch Trip

First of all..WOW...This is post #500!

In October, Caleb's preschool had a field trip to the local pumpkin patch. We had two great things happen. 1- Whereas the weather had been cold and rainy during the previous week, we had a fabulous, warm, sunny day near 70 degrees to enjoy the field trip. 2- Jeff ended up not having any patients in the morning and was able to come with us before his afternoon appointments. It's always nice to have an extra parent with three kids at a pumpkin patch- especially when Matthew ends up needing to take a potty break right in the middle of finding the perfect pumpkin in the huge field. That could have been interesting... instead, he just went for a little walk with daddy. :)



It was a beautiful day and a fun trip with the preschool class. They loved the hayride to the pumpkin field, picking out their favorite pumpkins, going through the straw bale maze, climbing the huge straw bale tower- Matthew did get a little nervous at the top, but I don't blame him- that tower was tall! They also had fun seeing the animals at the petting zoo and having cookies and juice afterwards.


The day was nice enough that when we got home, it was fun to just play outside. Emily may be young, but she definitely knows what she likes- and she loves to be outside!
