First REAL Field Trip

Lindsey - this is for you! :)

What a year of firsts this has been for Sadie. Going on her first REAL field trip was so exciting! Her class got to go to Sweet Berry Farms Pumpkin Patch. We have been lots of times before, but it was much more adventurous to go with your class! Plus we got to do things that we have never done before that I think they reserve for field trips. So that was fun.

They started off eating lunch and were joined by lots and LOTS of bees! All the adults turned into official bee shoo-ers. So we ate quick!

Then we were off to the wagon relay. Sadie's teacher is Mrs. Little and we love her!! I love that her last name is so perfect for a Kindergarten teacher. She has them line up by saying, "Where is my Little Line?" So cute! :) So they got into two Little Lines and raced under a tunnel to get a pumpkin in their wagon, and race back.
Sadie got one with a little green on it. She was proud that it would last the longest. :) But then at the end of the race one person wanted to change. They said if you wanted to trade you could. Of course almost EVERY kid went back to spend their time picking out the perfect one! :)

Maddie and Sadie painting their pumpkins. They have so much fun together!

While the kids were painting their pumpkins, I plopped Daphne down for some pictures in her little pumpkin hat! (Tricia, you will be happy to know that I never got a picture of her in a pumpkin with it on.) Seriously, I love this girl!
While the kids went through the maze, I went and fed Daphne in the car. I found them doing water races, but I missed Sadie. We have done that before so I was okay. :)

Then we got to do something cool that we had never done before. They took an ear of Indian Corn and put it through this old "machine" that took all the kernels off the corn as the kids turned the wheel. It was hard to do so an adult had to help. They got to put their kernels in a bag and take the empty ear of corn and the bag of kernels home. It was pretty cool.Sadie so proud of her Indian Corn. Her corn was completely empty of kernels. She did good!
On the hay ride! We were packed on tight so that we could all fit! So don't mind the unneccessary close up. Sadie always loves to show off her little sister! She always wants her friends to see that she can hold her! It is cute.
Stuffing a scarecrow with her classmates. They are wearing their Westside Rockets t-shirts! :) Don't worry, the boys are black with green writing! :)
If you ask Sadie what the VERY BEST part about the field trip was, this would be her answer:

They got to ride on the bus! And she got to sit by Maddie! Cameron and Logan were close too. They are quite the foursome sometimes. I have seen them holding hands (boy, girl, boy, girl) while running during running club. SO cute! Sadie had the option of riding home with me and not having to go back to school. But of course she chose to RIDE the BUS!
