We're off to the Pumpkin Patch!

 Emily's preschool class scheduled their first field trip, and as a mom who has finally built up some vacation time, I took off for the big day.  As luck would have it, they ended up postponing the trip last minute because of torrential downpours, so I still got the day off to work on hats (score!).  They planned the trip for the next week and I put in for a sub again.  This time, everything went off without a hitch!
We headed out to Belvedere Plantation, which has just grown so much since we first started going there a few years ago.  Back then, it was a simple hayride to get your pumpkin, a petting zoo, and a zipline.  Now it's doubled in cost to get in the front gate and there are a TON of people (but also tons of things to do for the kiddos).  We did the hayride to the fields first, followed by the barn, a pollination activity, the petting zoo, the playground, and the giant tunnel slides.

First time on the school bus!

It's perfect, Mom!

Can you tell we're part of a group?!

Petting the goats!

Baby goats!

Old tire horsey swing!

These trikes were amazing.  I'm half tempted to look up the company and buy a couple for home!

Not a second of hesitation with this one!

Down we go!
