Pumpkin Patch

 Judging by the expressions of these faces, I'd say that our first field trip of the school year was quite a success.  Though the thermometer registered summer-like temperatures, Mrs. Heather's Pumpkin Patch put us in the mood for Fall. Our students learned how pumpkins grow, selected pumpkins to take home, and expended lots of energy on the numerous activities at the pumpkin patch. The fun continued at Forest Park playground, and the kids showed no signs of slowing down. Here are a few pictures of our gang.
Part of the fun of a field trip is the bus ride.




Mrs. Heather explained how a pumpkin grows.

The gang's all here.

The face-painting booth was a hit!



Another popular activity was the zip line.


Why go through the hay maze when you can walk on top?




Each person picked a perfect pumpkin.







This scarecrow looks familiar!

One little, two little, three little.....

All kind of characters were roaming around.






Our city kids learned farming skills, such as milking the (fake) cow.

Duck races...on your mark, get set, pump that water!


Our friends were on top of the world at Forest Park where we had our picnic lunch.
