Today Carson had a field trip to a Pumpkin Patch with his preschool. Other than it being FREEZING cold, it was a fun morning! The Pumpkin Patch had a cute little maze made out of hay bails. The kids loved it! I guess the day before, it was super crowded, but today we practically had the maze to ourselves! The kids loved just running around and playing hide and go seek. 
The maze had a fun bridge that you could climb up on and see the whole maze. It was super fun to watch the kids play!
Even Miss Wendy took her turn hiding and the kids had to find her. Carson was one of the first ones to find her, so they both hid and waited for the rest of the class to find them! We like Miss Wendy a lot! She does a great job and Carson really likes her!
After the maze, the kids got to pick out a pumpkin....all by themselves. According to Carson this was his favorite part of the trip. I think he found one of the biggest pumpkins he could carry! And he managed to carry it through the field and add it to the big wheel barrow. Some of the kids picked BIG ones and some picked small ones....it was so fun to see what they picked out. But oh...the pumpkins were wet & muddy! 
After picking out their pumpkins, they sat on the 'hay benches' and got to listen to the farmer talk about pumpkins and other fun farm things!
He even read them a story about a boy and a BIG pumpkin!
In another tent, they had this cute puppet, that even talked! (There was a man hidden behind a wall of hay bails that used a microphone....he was hilarious!) His name was Tumbleweed the Cowboy....and he had just blown into town!
This was a super fun field trip. It was so enjoyable to be able to go with Carson and his class. Thanks Melissa for watching Kaylee for me, it definitely made it easier to enjoy! I can't wait for the upcoming field trips, since they get to do one every month. It is just so funny to see a whole bunch of 4 year olds together and hear the types of conversations they have!
