Classroom Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Julia's class went to the pumpkin patch this Tuesday instead of having class. We all went and had a great time. We got the full tour with just her preschool there since the farm we went to is only open to the public on the weekends. We fed goats (well Wyatt fed goats) and donkey's, looked at pigs, played in a hay barn, went on a hayride to the patch and picked a pumpkin and 2 gourds. Julia was thrown by the gourd thing and kept yelling "Daddy look it's a watermelon, a lemon, and a banana!!" You would think with all the Veggie tales she is watching she would know a gourd from a watermelon. We will have to work on those. Maggie had fun but it was a long day for her and she was asleep by the time the hay ride ended.

The goat feeding

Feeding the donkey. (pour it in the pipe,it goes to the ground and donkey eats it up) -yeah me too I got rather nervous when the tour guide said the kids could feed donkey's but it was totally harmless since the donkey was actually like 5 feet away from us.

Looks like fun was had by everyone at the pumpkin patch! Tell Wyatt he did great on the carving of jack'o lanterns. It brings back great memories for Pop!
