PACT's fieldtrip to the pumpkin patch








Last Thursday I took the girls to the pumpkin patch fieldtrip for Julia's school. They saw a blacksmith's demonstration and listened to the owner (farmer) of the property talk about the pumpin life cycle and how plants are important to us all in terms of food. Then the kids got a train ride and a chance to play in and around a half dozen "tepees". After this they picked their own pumpkins out of the field and then played on the hay bales. It was a fun, exhausting day for all of us.
