Field Trip #2 - Pumpkin Patch!!

Katelyn's preschool class took a field trip to the Deep Woods Pumpkin Patch in Hancock, MO. It was a great day for the pumpkin patch with perfect weather, not very fall like weather, but beautiful none the less! This one was smaller than the one we went to as a family but just the right size for the preschoolers. There were games they could play, corn pit, petting zoo (2 animals -goat and baby pig), hayrack ride to the "pumpkin patch" and the infamous train. The hayrack ride to the patch was kind of a joke in that it just went in a big circle and the pumpkin patch was just walking distance from the barn. Oh well, good enough for the kiddos! This place also had MUCH smaller pumpkins that Happy Hollows - more preschool size ones!

And then there was snack time! They said a prayer before snack and it was the cutest thing ever!!

And then a class picture! What a great looking group of kids! And they were SO well behaved too!

First Field Trip - Pet Store!

Katelyn's school went on there first field trip - on the second week of school! I'm impressed. It sounds like they will be doing lots of different trips. Guess we'll see what they have in store for the  kids!

The theme for the second week of school was "Pets." So what better place to go than the pet store. And fortunately, it happens to be just down the road. They did take the bus which Katelyn was pretty excited about! They got to see lots of different creatures and even pet some.

Time to head back to school!

I was pretty impressed with how good of listeners the kids were - 15 3 year old could be a bit out of conntrol! They all behaved so well! During the "pet" week at school, Katelyn came home a couple of times and said that she wanted a kitty. Sorry honey - no kitties in this house!! Since then, we haven't heard her request for a kitty again so luckily it was just a phase. Whew!!
