Leah's first field trip with Preschool

Today Leah, Landon, and I made a trip down to Linder Farms Pumpkin Patch to meet up with the rest of her class and enjoy some fun activities. First we went to the hay bail maze.




Next we went over and learned how to pick our very own pumpkin....they taught the kids not to pick them up by the stems, but to scoop them up with both hands....as demonstrated here


Then we went out into the field and Leah picked her very own pumpkin, I didn't help her at all, she had fun doing this.

"No, not this pupmkin, it's not big enough"

"Maybe this one"

"this thing is heavy, but I can carry it all by myself"

Next we went over to the tractor and went on a hayride, Leah was really looking forward to this part.




After the hayride we went over to pet the ponies, they were kind of scared of us, but Leah did get to pet one of them for a little bit


Next we went over to the education center to learn the life cycle of a pupmkin.

This is Leah's teacher Mrs. Lawson



Last we went over tothe picinic tables and had some popcorn and juice...all that picking pumpkins and running around sure can work up an appetite



Finally the kids took a group picture before we left. This is all the 4 year olds and the 3 year olds mixed together.


In this picture the kids are singing their good-bye song "Polly-Wolly Doodle"

It was alot of fun at the pumpkin patch, I am sure it is the first of many field trips I will get to go on with Leah.
