Field Trip To The Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday Jackson had his first little field trip with his class. Being that I am a stay at home mom, I am lucky enough to be able to join him in these activities.

We started the day off late as usual, but got caught up after the class finished learning about where pumpkins come from. (like the kids care where pumpkins come from, just give them a pumpkin and a carving kit and let them have at it!) We went on a hayride around the farm and saw the river, barns and animals. After we were done with the hayride we were pretty much free to feed the animal and pick a pumpkin. Jackson had a ball petting and feeding the animal. He really enjoyed the miniature donkey. I think he even said he wanted to ride it! lol I could just see that going well. It was so hot and we were pretty miserable so some of the pictures below Jackson looks pretty beat.

Here is Jackson's class

Jackson with the donkey. They both look pretty happy, huh?
These next two pictures are of Jackson now and of Jackson the very first time I took him to the very same pumpkin patch. I tried to get the same picture, but like I said it was hot and he was pretty tired.
