PUMPKIN PATCH FIELD TRIP

Today Kayla had her first "real" field trip. Her class went to the pumpkin patch. I am still not sure which she was more excited about, the field trip OR riding on a bus for the first time. She was SO excited to be a big girl in a seatbelt instead of a carseat. I met her class at the pumpkin patch, as it is 2 minutes from our house. We went on a tractor/hay ride, learned about how pumpkins grow, and picked out a pumpkin and a gourd. We had a blast.

Excuse my little bragging moment. lol When she arrived, we headed to the barn to learn about pumpkins. As soon as we walked in, the owner fell in love with Kayla (and her outfit, lol) The owner needed two volunteers (a boy & girl). Every kid, except Kayla raised their hand. The owner kept looking at Kayla, but Kayla did not raise her hand. So, the owner picked two kids with raised hands. Then she needed two more volunteers (boy & girl again). AGAIN, Kayla did not volunteer, yet everyone else did. The owner grabbed Kayla and volunteered her. OMG, Kayla was SOOOOO excited. As you will see in the pics by her smiles when she had to "cover" the pumpkin seeds (the other volunteers). She NEVER stopped smiling!

Be prepared for picture overload. ENJOY!!! OH, notice, Kayla "HAD" to be a princess before we left. lol My baby is NOT a baby anymore. :(
