In October, Charlie went on his first ever “official” field trip with his preschool... To the pumpkin patch. He was very excited to be going on a real, live field trip. It was pretty cute. They started with the kids in the barn, gave them each a cookie, (yes at 10am,) and told them a couple of stories. Then they let them into another barn that had a small petting farm and some toys, including a pretend rocket ship. (Don’t ask me what rockets have to do with pumpkins or farms, because I don’t think there’s an answer!) Then they were each able to go out and pick out a little pumpkin from the patch, and spend some time playing on the things that were set-up outside.
Charlie was so busy eating his cookie in the beginning that I don’t think he really heard the story. I am thinking we might not give the boy enough sweets. He was also very, very hyper for the remainder of the morning. When it was time to pick out pumpkins, he was very concerned about how muddy everything was. In fact, when he first picked up his pumpkin, he immediately dropped it and gave me a very sad look, holding up both hands to show me the mud. He did do a very good job picking out his own pumpkin though! He also had a lot of fun playing on the boats, teepees and tractors!
