field trips and pumpkin patches

The month of October was filled with several field trips.  I was so excited that I was able to go with all 3 boys.  

I have always looked forward to the days that I would be able to go on field trips with my children.  

The first trip was Kellen's Kindergarten class to a pumpkin patch about an hour away.  We took a bus and tried to occupy the kids the best we could. 

Kellen and his friend Braden

I got to share my bus seat with these 2 houligans!!

Kellen with several classmates.  There are 14 in his class.

All the moms split up and took 4-5 children each to watch over.  It was a little difficult since there were so many activities to do.  

All the kids got to pick their own pumpkins

Preschool and Kindergarten combined

The following week Keagan and Kade's preschool class went to a different pumpkin patch.  

They loved the "train" ride pulled by the 4-wheeler

Kade LOVED the pumpkin sling shot

(that is one of Kade's teachers...miss Kendra)

We ended up not carving pumpkins this year.  Kade ended up picking a pumpkin that was the size of his hand, Keagan's was green, and Kellen decorated his at school....so they were a little difficult to carve.  Then we went to Disney over Halloween! So things were a little crazy around here and I was a tad bit preoccupied.

I did love spending time with their classes and getting to know some of their friends.  I feel blessed that I had this opportunity with them.  

Happy Fall!
