Kindergarten Field Trip

On Friday, I went with Riley's Kindergarten class to the pumpkin patch!
The kids were all SO excited!!
This pumpkin patch was a smaller version of Walter's (the one we go to).
Which was nice because it was easier to keep an eye on all of those 5 and 6 year olds, but they were able to still get to do lots of fun activities.

There was a train ride:

Cute cut-outs for pictures:

A big slide:

Even a zip line!

There was also a a giant jumping pillow.

This was the favorite of all of the kids.

When I reminded Riley that we only had a limited amount of time, he decided to check out the petting zoo before it was too late. They had cute donkeys and miniture horses.

He also got to get in a picture with his cousin Alyssa who is in the other Kindergarten class.

Then it was time to get in the wagon and head off to the pumpkin patch.

Riley was one of the last ones to pick a pumpkin......

he was looking for the biggest one.

He finally settled on this one:

Luckily I was there to carry it for him...... =)

After that we ate lunch and headed back to the bus.

Riley had a great time......and he was pretty worn out too.

He almost fell asleep on the bus ride back to school.

It was nice to get to spend time with Riley on his field trip!

Looking For.......

BUTTERFLIES!

My sister Mary told us that there were lots of butterflies all over the field in the park by our house, so Lily & I set out last week to find them.
There were tons of them, and they flew up as you ran through the grass, but they were tiny little things, so they were hard to catch on camera.

Lily had fun running around trying to catch them.

Almost got one......

but not fast enough......

That's OK, she quickly ran off after more.

We didn't catch any, but we had fun trying!

Pumpkin Patch Time!

We headed off to Walter's Pumpkin Patch on Saturday.
We have been going to Walter's since Riley was 6 months old!
This is Riley on his first trip to the pumpkin patch:


Look how little he was!!

Zach had been to pumpkin patches before this, but here he is at his first trip to Walter's:

He was almost 3 in this picture.....

Now he's really big. =(

But still cute. ;-)

And just for fun (because it wasn't our first trip here),

This is Baby lily on her first trip to Walter's:

Doesn't she look excited???

Back to this year......

We went with my sister Amy.

It was so much fun!!

We did all of the old favorites;

Boo Mountain Slide, train rides, punkin'chunkin',

jumping pillow, and of course picking pumpkins.

We also got to do some new stuff;

Zach rode on a zip line & we went through a corn maze!

Here are our pictures from our day:
