Friday was such a beautiful and fun day! It was Alex’s first field trip! It was optional, since parents had to provide transportation to Patterson Farm, but we had a good turn-out. I’ve been so excited for this trip since orientation in August! Tim, Spencer, and I had a lot of fun meeting Alex’s friends and (more importantly) their parents. We’ve heard a lot about Ethan, and Alex has pointed him out to me when I’ve picked him up, so it was so cool to see them playing together and always looking for each other. Miss Barrie said they definitely “picked each other”. Ethan’s parents were really nice and easy to get along with, so hopefully there will be some play-dates in our future!
During the field trip, the kids took a class picture, watched a short puppet show about pumpkins, fed animals, made a scare crow, took a tractor ride around the farm, picked a pumpkin, and played on a really fun playground. What a busy morning! Both boys fell asleep minutes after we hit the road to go back home.

 Miss Barrie leading the kids in a song about scarecrows. They were able to bring the scarecrow back to school and will probably add him to their garden. |
 Spencer found his pumpkin! (The pumpkin field was pretty picked through, so we had to choose from pumpkins staged on the grass.) |

 Alex showing his pumpkins. (He chose the first 2 he came across. He was more interested in finding Ethan.) |
 Two cute boys sliding down the really cool slide. It was a large piece of drainage pipe with a plastic lining, so it was really fast! |
 Fast friends on a fast slide. Love them! Ethan’s mom told me that Ethan wasn’t able to open his water bottle at school, so Alex started opening it for him. |
 Spencer had a blast, especially on the playground where he was finally able to roam around. |
 The spider web climbing structure was so neat! |
 Attempting a class photo! Some of these kids are in the M/W/F class, but they all got along well! |
 Alex and Ethan had a blast wrestling in the corn pit. I wish I could have rolled around in that – it looked like a ton of fun! |
