Zack's First Field Trip

Zack had his first field trip for school on Monday!

It was a very fun afternoon going to Dehn's Pumpkin Patch in Dayton.

We started the day as usual at school playing and circle time where a story about pumpkin growing was read and the boy in the story sat on a pumpkin. So of course that was one of the first things Zack had to do when we got to the patch. Then there was the task of finding a pumpkin to bring home. Every pumpkin was the one to bring home! "Oh this is a great pumpkin!" "Oh lets bring this one home!" It was very fun to see him running around the field.

Kiley got to come too.

The farm we were at also had cows that the kids could feed. Zack loved feeding them! Which I was surprised at due to my story yesterday about cowlicks. I thought he might be timid. But when Darin asked Zack that night if he thought those were the cows that came in and licked him he paused and said, "No, they were nice cows". :-)

Kiley loved the cows too.

Nice Moo Bossy! Right Grandma and Grandpa Cooley?

She also loved the goats! She wanted to touch both the cows and the goats in the worst way!!!

The goats are what seems to scare Zack more than the cows. Go figure. This is as close to the goats as he would get!

Next the kids and parents went on a hayride around the farm. At first Zack was a little nervous. I think he thought we were putting the kids on and we were staying behind because all of the parents were down on the ground taking pictures. :-) But once we got going he liked it a lot. He told me that was his favorite part of the day!

Ethan, Zack, Barb, (she takes care of Kiley in Sib Care on Monday's while Zack and I are in class) Kiley and Me.

The last part of the field trip ended as their class time does, with one more circle time. Miss Lisa had brought one of Zack's favorite things to play with, the parachute, (that used to be my favorite too in gym class!).

What a fun day!

p.s. For those of you who went to Apple Jack's orchard, Dehn's pumpkins were .10 cents cheaper per pound! FYI for next year! And I think there may be a tie to this place and the Dehn's restaurant we always went to with Grandma and Grandpa Cooley. The farm is very close.
