Field Trip!

Today was Tayler's first field trip! We went to the Country Mercantile with her class where everyone got to choose a pumpkin, go through a hay bale maze, climb on a hay bale pyramid, and see a petting zoo! It was a great time!

When we arrived, we all loaded on to a tractor that was pulling a trailer with hay seats on it. We rode out to a huge pumpkin patch where each kid got to pick their very own pumpkin! This picture here shows the really beautiful green and orange pumpkin Tayler chose. This photo also shows the ONLY time during the trip that Tayler carried her own pumpkin! (Next year, the rule will be "if you can't carry it, we aren't getting it!")

Then it was off to the maze and pyramid....which of course, were both a hoot! The kids went crazy crawling up, around and through each.

We spent awhile petting the miniture horses, pigs, lambs, and rabbits. There was a pig there that was going bazerk pulling on a string that was attached to his water trough, so that was a little frightening, but other than that it was a lot of fun. No ones fingers became a miniture horses afternoon snack, which is something I was worried might happen! Tayler was very good though, and made she she did as we were told, and made sure to only pet the animals' bodies. Face petting usually equals and nibble or two.

Afterward, they had juice and cookies for the kids where they were able to play with thier friends a little bit more before it was time to say goodbye.

Tonight.....Brian and Tayler get to take her pumpkin back to the school where they're having a "daddy/daughter" pumpkin carving night! Oh, isn't preschool fun!?!?!
