Ellie’s Trip to the Farm

One of the things we love about the preschool we chose for the girls was the fact that they take the kids on a few field trips during the school year. The first of them comes during the fall. Each class goes to the pumpkin patch to explore and pick their very own pumpkin! Today was Ellie’s class trip and I don’t think she could have been more excited about it. It was mostly rain last night but this morning the sun was out, shining and giving Ellie’s class a perfect morning for an adventure.
Taking mommy through the barn maze. We were in search of the slide at the end of the maze.
We found the slide!
Checking out the goats with a few school friends.
Taking a look at the ponies with her friend Edie.
Checking out the brand new kittens at the farm. Ellie was so excited to pet one.
Giving mama cat a few loves too! And mama was more than happy to get them.
More ponies!
While the class waited to ride the tractor out to the fields to pick pumpkins, they were given the chance to play on the “bubble”. Because of the rain the night before, the bubble was wet and slick but that didn’t stop the kids from having a blast. Ellie and Edie bounced and giggled and had a grand time.
Bouncing and having lots and lots of fun!
Catching some air!
Roar!
Killing some more time in the corn house. What a cool idea! Although I have a feeling we will be picking up dried corn kernels for months after this. Oh well, fun was had by all so it was completely worth it.
Riding along in the tractor with on of her teachers.
Ellie found the perfect pumpkin! Cute as a button just like her!
The sun started to disappear again behind clouds, but it was a beautiful morning at the farm!

After all the fun that was had exploring the barn maze, the farm animals, the “bubble”, the corn house and the pumpkin fields it was time to head back to school and pick up Abby. Ellie was so excited to tell her big sister all about her day at the farm and all that Abby could expect next week when its her turn to go. I took the girls for pizza as a treat and a chance for all of us to talk about the fun day. These are definitely special times to remember with our kiddos.
