The first field trip of first grade took place yesterday. Joe and I joined 31 first graders on the school bus and drove out to Central Bridge to go to the Pumpkin Patch. (Never again riding the bus, by the way. Now I remember why I always hated it!) Joe and I were assigned three little boys, plus our own little offspring. We were able to keep them in line pretty good!
We did lots of fun pumpkin patch activities. We had a ride on the hay wagon, the kids got to see some farm animals and crawl through a hay bale tunnel, and there were some cute pumpkin displays. Plus each kid got to pick their own little pumpkin, a gourd, and an ear of Indian corn. Joe snuck in an extra ear for himself, too, because he found a really big one.
We all had lunch in the barn, in close proximity to the apple cider donuts (we bought a dozen to bring home), and only lost one student the whole day - Joe joined the search party and found her pretty quickly, having some fun playing by herself.
I'm glad to have the opportunity to go on these field trips with Xander! Even though I was completely exhausted by the time I got home, it was worth it.
