Pumpkin Patch

Rylan was so proud of her pumpkin, she picked it out all by herself!

She wasn't too crazy about this inflatable. She ended up getting upset and we had to coach her down. Fun while it lasted I guess. {excuse the nose picker in the pic :}

This was before their "class" at the beginning of the field trip. Ms. Heather {the patch owner} explained how pumpkins grow, how to hold a pumpkin so you don't drop it, she carved it and showed the kids the seeds in the inside. She explained how to grow our own pumpkins and then she made a jack-o-lantern face on it. After that the kids were able to go choose their own pumpkin, they got to jump on the inflatable, visit the petting zoo.... it included pigs, bunnies, a pony, sheep, cow, goat, chickens, and a turkey. Rylan got her face painted and then ate a picnic lunch. It was unbelievably crowded, too many schools on field trips. We ended up leaving about an hour earlier than planned because of the amount of people. The kids were ready to go though, it was a long day.
