The Pumpkin Patch

On Wednesday, I went with Mary Conlee to the Pumpkin Patch in Blue Mountain. This is the same place I went with my Kindergartners when I taught at Rankin. And, I love that my own children have had a chance to go there, as well.

Luckily, I didn't have ride the school bus like I did when I was the teacher! Several moms and I rode together and we had just as much fun (or more) than the kids did.

MC had fun jumping on the bouncy slide, riding the train, feeding the animals, and riding the tractor to the patch. Her favorite part was picking her own pumpkin. She took the longest time trying to find the perfect one. Finally, she found hers and helped me pick out one for Cole. He was so disappointed that 2nd graders are too big to go to the pumpkin patch these days!

It has been a little sad this year to have my little girl gone all day long. I have been accustomed to having her home each day for lunch. Now that she is in "big school," it has been an adjustment for both of us. I enjoyed spending the day with her again! My favorite part of the field trip was watching MC with her friends. She loves each and every one in her class. What sweet memories she is making!
