Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Today was Laina's first school field trip! They went to Harris Farm and I got to go with them! We had a great time. We left school at 9am and drove over to the farm. We had our own tractor ride waiting for us that took us to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin. It was an actual pumpkin patch and the pumpkins were still on the vines (as opposed to a bunch of pumpkins being tossed into a field where they are rotting by the time you get to them). The tractor ride then took us to see a bunch of turkeys who were a riot. They came right up to the tractor and they "talked" to the kids. Then from there we rode over to pick out Indian corn. The kids had a great time seeing the pretty colored Indian corn. Then the tractor took us back to the barn and we got to go see the baby cows and the big cows. One baby cow was just a couple days old and could barely stand itself up it was so new! The kids all enjoyed feeding the cows. Laina had a super fun time - and I just loved every minute of it. I love her two little friends, Evan and Antonio and it was fun seeing the three of them interact together out in the "real world". I also enjoyed spending time with her teacher, Stephanie. Steph will only be teaching at Laina's school for one more week and I'm heartbroken to see her go. We LOVE Steph and it was so nice to be able to spend the morning with her. Here are some cute shots of Laina with her buds.
