Pumpkin Patch Part 1

Today Pumpkin went to the Pumpkin Patch with her kindergarten class. She got to make her way through an inflatable "haunted maze", play on an ancient fire truck and pick out a pumpkin to take home. I dropped her off at school and waited in the parking lot to follow the buses because the school told us chaperons that we had to manage our own transportation to the site.

I was under prepared for how chilly it became and ended up wrapping my awesome pashmina scarf around my head to shield my numb ears from the wind. Pumpkin had a good time and in spite of the drizzly rainy dark skies she ran around and played the whole time. The teacher asked if I had ever worked in education because I sounded like I had been a teacher at some point. Must have been a combination of being a camp volunteer and working in the field I'm in for so long.

Anyway here are a few shots of Pumpkin, her class and myself from our first trip to the home of the great pumpkin this year.

They kept yelling, "look it's an eye!!!"

do you see the eye?

you can't buy these for another week.

She say's, "Mommy I'm all bones!"
