The Pumpkin Patch

Today was Emma's first field trip with her preschool class. We went to Mother Nature's Farm. Emma has been so excited to go and Derrick has been asking for weeks to go to a real farm. Minus the blazing heat (on my way home it was 99 degrees) we had a fun time! The kids got to pick out their own pumpkins and decorate them with foam stickers. Emma made a face out of flowers on her pumpkin and Derrick picked everything green and farm related! There were places for the kids to play and run around and lots of cute photo ops! The highlight for Derrick was the hay ride..being pulled by a big green tractor! The hay ride took us to the animals. They had a cow, several goats, chickens and pigs. After the animals we had a quick snack and then it was Bounce House time. Emma was so excited to go in there (she told me that was her favorite part of the trip). I wasn't sure if Derrick would get in, but he did. Now, him jumping....he didn't! I don't think he even stood up once. But he just sat or laid there while the other kids bounced him around and thought it was great fun! They really had a good time and I'm glad we got to go!
