Preschool Pumpkin Patch Trip

Danica's first field trip was to the pumpkin patch. Of course it was cold and sprinkling out that day. Fortunately it wasn't as muddy as I had expected.
We were the first to arrive right after the teachers so we had a little waiting to do.
She decided that she needed a wheelbarrow. And tried getting classmate Ethan in on the action. Ethan wanted his own.


She also wanted to have her picture taken in all of the cutouts they had. I lost track at ten.
She was not being very patient while waiting for everyone to get on the hayride. The little boys next to her are twins Pat and Matt. And they are dressed alike every day. I've seen the teachers put a sticker on the back of one so they know who is who.
Trying to decide which pumkpin to pick out.

This field was specifically for field trip groups. It had nice small pumpkins that the kids could carry.
The patch also has an apple orchard and the kids each got to pick an apple as well. Danica listened very carefully when the guide explained how to twist and pull the apple. She then twisted it without me reminding her and was so proud of her apple. It became a snack later that day.

Heading fearlessly into the cornmaze ahead of everyone else.

Running around in the teepee.
Climbing the pyramid of hay, then getting stuck halfway up and not knowing how to get down.

She would have staying in the petting zoo for hours if I had let her. The calf was so cute and licked hands.

And after washing the cow licked hands we had a snack of fresh apple cider and apple cider donuts.
