The Pumpkin Patch

Caden had his field trip to the pumpkin patch on Friday. The forecast was rain - ALL DAY. Thankfully, the rain stayed away (most of the time). The kids had a ball playing in the straw bail maze and then we loaded up on the tractors and headed to the pumpkin patch. Farmer Paula did a great job talking with the kids about what they do on the farm and how they grow their crops before turning the kids loose to hunt the perfect pumpkin. We had about 4 minutes in the pumpkin patch before the sky opened up and we had to run back to the tractors. The timing was actually good for us because Caden is very indecisive about picking something when he has lots of choices. We grabbed 2 pumpkins and ran. The rain stopped as soon as we got back to the farmer's market. The kids had snacks and got to play a little more before heading home. It was a great field trip.

Boo!
