Brooklyn's Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

For Brooklyn's fall field trip they went to the Country Apple Orchard.  Brooklyn was so excited to be able to ride on the school bus for the first time.  It was fun watching her giggle with her new friends as they loaded the bus.  Ryan was able to leave work for the afternoon and join us, so we road over separate in the truck.  Once they arrived at the at the orchard they headed off on a hay ride ( so they called it) to the pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins.  The kids were so fun to watch as they wondered around the pumpkin patch trying to pick the perfect pumpkin.  Brooklyn was pretty excited when she found hers.  After the hay ride they headed back to the orchard where they learned about how pumpkins are planted and how to take care of pumpkins.  The kids got to smell a pumpkin and talk about what a pumpkin is used for.  They then enjoyed some yummy apple juice.  Next they got to play on the hay stacks and meet the farm animals.  Brooklyn love the donkeys and loved petting their soft ears. It was nice for Ryan and I to go along and see how Brooklyn was with her new class and teacher.  After we got back to the school Brooklyn's Teacher told me that on the bus Brooklyn came up to her and said thank you for taking her to the pumpkin patch.  I'm so proud that she remembered to say thank you.   Besides the cold wind we had a great time on the field trip with Brooklyn and her class.
