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.
