This last Thursday, Oct. 21st, the kids in Ayden's class all piled into their bus while us parents piled into our minivans and headed out to Hill Ridge Farms! We all arrived nearly an hour later. Here is our Room Mom, Amanda going back over to my van to get all the lunches that we took along with us for the kids. I didn't really realize that this field trip stuff is a highly organized program of events that had the kids on a strict time schedule! We arrived into the farm (that one could spend literally all day at with the amount of fun activities for children) and we had about 20 minutes to free play on what we wanted until we had to meet over at the line for the hay ride. We were supposed to check out the farm animals and one other activity, but they let things slide a bit since we ran out of time. We checked out a couple of things and then spent most of our time out at the pumpkin patch eating lunch.
The Hay Pit! Ayden's friend Peter is in the green shirt on the far right and Ayden is in the blue shirt on the far left.
What cute little classmates that Ayden has! This is Kate, Brennan and Justin!
Here are the boys at the lunch table. Tyler on the far left, then Peter, Ayden and Gabriel came along for the ride! It really was a gorgeous day out!
This was right before Ayden dropped this huge pumpkin on the ground and split open another little pumpkin, woops! It was a wirlwind of events, but I am really glad that I got to be a part of Ayden's first school field trip!Lately on the last couple of Mondays, I've been able to volunteer in Ayden's classroom, which has been really great!! Gabriel has been going over to Quentin's house to be watched by their babysitter, Miss Ellen. It is a great set-up! This last Friday, the 22nd, I even got to go in to the classroom to help lead the kids in learning about Science and Math experiments. I lead a table that was learning about circumference! I loved it, the kids are so smart!
