Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Fall is the perfect time for an outing to YMCA camp Hargis and the pumpkin patch.  Will and Logan's 4K class had a great day playing and learning about pumpkins!  Mommy got to attend as a chaperone and enjoyed watching those two in action with their friends.  The classes rotated through several stations: animal petting area, tee-pee story time, ball toss, hay ride and a lesson on pumpkin farming. After all the stations, each class cooked hot dogs over a campfire and had a picnic lunch together. Lastly, we ended up at the pumpkin patch where each child was able to pick a pumpkin to take home. They had a blast being outside with their friends.

And we were the absolute last ones to leave because W and L had to scour the entire patch to make sure they found the biggest pumpkins.  (They were all smallish, but we'll let them think that they got the big ones!!)  A fun day was had by all!
