Ava's First Field Trip::To the Pumpkin Patch!
Yipppeeeeee!!!!
We're going on a field trip to the pumpkin patch! On a SCHOOL BUS! With our best friends!
Can you think of anything more fun?
(Ava doesn't get to ride the bus to and from school so getting to ride on a school bus is FUN, FUN, FUN!)
Getting ready to depart the school with some of her best friends: Wynne & Sydney
The pumpkin patch has a small petting zoo. Ava kept feeding this sweet & hungry pony.
Two cuties going through the Mini Corn Maze together.
Ringing the bell. (the bell is at the end of the Big, Grown-up Corn Maze...you ring it as you leave. That is IF you manage to get out of the maze!!!!!)
Preschoolers with lots of bright pumpkins.
Ava's preschool class!
The hayride to the pumpkin patch....
Ava found her pumpkin! (actually, they had the pumpkins of uniform size already picked and sitting in a clearing in the pumpkin patch so that the little kids didn't trip and fall over pumpkin vines.)
Classmates with their pumpkins!
Corn shucker...or whatever this old fashioned machine is called. You put a dry corn on the cob into the machine, twirl the wheel and out comes the corn kernels.
And those dry corn kernel turned into fun play time material!
Snack Break! Of course all the kids chose chocolate milk. And graham crackers. Yum!
Watching the pumpkin patch owner's Pumpkin Trebuchet fling a pumpkin up, up and away!
And then watching his new addition- the Pumpkin Air Gun. Which do you think blasted the pumpkin further?
And rolling down the mini hill. Gotta get out those wiggles and giggles before heading back to school.
Best Friends.
They're growing up too fast!
So much fun - I agree, it was a treat to get to go with them!
