Pumpkin Patch

Today I went with Olivia's preschool class to Stuckmeyer's Pumpkin Patch. This is the first time I have ever went on a field trip with one of my kids class. I guess I will need to do something with Alex next. Of course, I was running late this morning and forgot the camera. I can't believe it. I drove Olivia and her friend Audrey plus Miss Lisa and Miss Erica. We go to Stuckmeyer's every October for our "Pumpkin day with Auntie" so I knew exactly where it was...right by the Big Pink Elephant. We were so excited to go. The first thing we did was take a hayride. We have never done that before so I was looking forward to seeing what it was all about. Since we had so many in our group, we got an entire wagon to ourself. The hayride took us back through all the land and we got to see the garden with blooming Mums, some lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, corn, sunflowers, etc. All along the route, there are little scene's. They had painted scene's of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Pooh and his friends, Peter Pan, Snow White, a few skeletons, an Indian scene and their most favorite was Cinderella's scene. The girl's loved it. After our hayride, the girl's got to go into a big blow up Haunted House. I didn't go in so I don't know what it was all about but most had fun. There were a few who were apprehensive. After that, they got to go crazy in Fort Spooky!! They ran and played on the huge playground that was packed full of kids. It was hard to keep track but we managed to keep all 10 in check! Then it was time to go but not before picking a pumpkin! Olivia dove right in and found her 2nd perfect pumpkin. Her first is a tiny one that we got at Soulard Farmer's Market last weekend that is now decorated with a face and her name. I wonder what she will want to do to this one. Alex is all about carving pumpkins this year. So I think I will give him my little one and let him have a ball. We are looking forward to our Pumpkin Day with Auntie which is tomorrow at 2 p.m. I will have pictures for sure! Tomorrow, Olivia gets to endulge in her passion of horses. She is already talking about seeing Frosty tomorrow. Frosty is the very first horse Olivia rode, ever. So every white horse is called Frosty. I love it. Till then...
