Every year at our Elementary school, the Kindergarteners take a field trip in the fall to the pumpkin patch. Harrison's class did this, but I was not able to chaperone, as they didn't have room for any parents on the trip. With our new school, any parents (or siblings) that want to come are welcome. You just have to get there yourself. So Olivia and I took advantage, and came along. It was a great time for everyone. If we had come on the weekend, it would have cost our family of 5 over $30 to do what we did on the field trip for $6. And that wouldn't have included a pumpkin, and the field trip did.
There was a hay ride
out to a pumpkin patch.
Noah had to get a picture with his best friend Dallin.

| These two are like 2 peas in a pod. The are in the same class a church, but different classes at school, but that doesn't stop them from playing with each other at recess every single day. |

| Next came the huge hay bale climbing tower. This made me a bit nervous. It was really, really tall. But the kids LOVED it. |
And then there was the hay bale maze.
Olivia definitely felt right at home with all the Kindergarteners. She would even line up with then when their teacher asked them to line up:
I got a group shot of his whole class. It's a lot bigger than Harrison's class. I think Harrison's was close to 20, and Noah's is almost 30.
There was also a petting zoo, complete with bunny rabbits, pigs, goats and a reindeer!

| Noah could read the signs that were posted stating that the animals may bite. So he kept his distance. |
Everyone had a great time, and we enjoyed fabulous weather. I can't wait to go with Olivia's class in a couple years!
