We hit "The Patch"

Hey Blog reader...today was Sharkboy's pre-school trip to "The Patch". It is an annual trek to the pumpkin patch and farm to learn about growing food, raising animals and picking out the perfect pumpkin.

We met everyone there since it is really close to the house. We got to get their early and check things out. They had a pasture area that had chickens running around in it. Sharkboy was convinced they were turkeys and that his parents had no idea what they were talking about. The nice lady at the farm confirmed that we were right and they were chickens. He was shocked that we would know that.

Then everyone got there and we started the tour. We got to pick sun flowers out of the plant, picked up apples to feed the horses and ate raspberries right off the plant. Then we went over and fed the farm animals. It was funny, all the Mom's really weren't that interested in feeding the animals. The horse was sort of drooly, and slobbery and it was grossing them out. So I stepped up and fed the horse like 5 apples. Then we fed the goats, chickens and pigs. It was pretty neat.

Then on to the straw ride to pick our perfect pumpkins. The kids were instructed on how to pick pumpkins and we were off. It was muddy, but not too bad. We picked 3 pumpkins that were just a little bit smaller than basketballs.

Then they all went back to school...and I was off to work the part time gig.

Here are some pictures from the trip...unfortunately Jenny's batteries died mid-trip so we didn't get too many.

Well that is about all I have for today. It was a fun day...not really much on the plans for tomorrow. I will try and catch some pictures at soccer for the blog...

So until tomorrow...

Be Kind, Be Safe...

Shalom my Peeps.
