I accompanied Lily's class on a field trip last Thursday. We went to the pumpkin patch. I don't think it was educational, but it was fun. We started out with a hayride.
The hayride took us to a field where everyone was allowed to choose a pumpkin to take home. The only rule was you had to be able to carry it yourself. This lecture thoroughly scared some of the kids and most of them chose really small pumpkins.
We took the hayride back from the field and had lunch. There I ran into my BIL Bryce and niece Isobel. They were there on a fieldtrip too! We were all surprised to happen to be there at the same time! After lunch all of the kids were directed to play on the many fun things they had set up, so Lily and Isobel had some time to play together while I chatted with Bryce for a little while.
My camera's batteries died so I'll have to just describe what fun was in store for us.
There were a couple of old tractors to climb on. They had several tractor tires for kids to climb in and out of. A haystack pyramid that was, maybe, two stories high, a bunny village to wander through. There was two slides made out of huge pipes buried into a hill. These slides were the favorite attraction and the lines were long for them the whole time. There was also some farm animals to pet or look at, goats, pigs, chickens, cow, bull, pony and donkey. They had also made a tunnel maze out of hay bales that the kids could crawl through. And there was a water area where kids could pan for gold.
There was so much to do that I had to drag kids away from the fun when it was time head back to the buses. It was fun to accompany Lily on her fieldtrip. I like going and getting to know her friends and teacher better.
