Pumpkin Patch

This morning, Shea's preschool took a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch! Shea was really excited about this. Will did not accompany us, it was too cold!! He stayed at home with Jen Kuck. He got plenty of snuggle time. Meanwhile, Shea and I headed out into the blustery wind. We were dressed like it was already winter. We went to Lohstroh's Family Farm near Mount Sterling. The kids were shown the cows and what they eat, different types of pumpkins & gourds, climbed hay bails and were told to crawl like caterpillars and then.... The hay ride! The kids were so thrilled. Shea & Brianna were glued together- as usual when they are at school. I took the girls out to pick up which pumpkins they wanted. Brianna wanted a small one and Shea and I were eyeing a big gourd.

Then they went back to the barn and had a snack and played in the hay bails. Then it was back on the bus to go home. I asked Shea if she wanted to ride back with me or take the bus. No hesitation...the bus! It was a cold day but we had a lot of FUN!!
