Pumpkin patch field trip

Last Wednesday I got to go on my first field trip with Arran, to a local pumpkin patch. He was very excited, to say the least and the fact that I came with him, to him was an added bonus. What a sweetheart.

The fun always starts with a ride on the school bus.


All the kids from the five K/1 classes, assembled on the hay bales, listening to instructions.

Climbing the hay bales. Arran on the far right with his hooded jacket. They also got to milk a cow and dig for potatoes.


Arran is not a boy to be rushed! He took a LONG time, searching for his perfect pumpkin.


Arran with one of his buddies, Will, peering over the tractor trailer they got to ride on. Disembarking with their prize pumpkins.

There was also cheese tasting, which my boy graciously declined as well as ice cream sampling, by which time I had to leave to pick up the girls. It was fun to get to experience another aspect of school life with him.
