Yesterday we took our first field trip--we rode a bus for 45
to Liberty, Missouri and went to Carolyn's Pumpkin
Patch. This is a very family oriented, handicapped
friendly place to visit. We had a BEAUTIFUL day weather
wise. The next several pictures are sites around the patch.

Ok, now we must find that perfect pumpkin. We did havesome issues finding that pumpkin. One of the employees
mentioned that they had a small crop this year and
we did run into (literally) a lot of rotten ones. But I'm
happy to report that all of us returned to the wagon with
our own perfect pumpkin!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great place...I've been there on a field trip. Lot's of fun and lots of mud...thanks for sharing...Pat H
ReplyDeleteAww cute pic's. So much fun at the pumpkin patch! I loved those days.
ReplyDeleteIt is obvious you all had a grand time. We'll be taking our kid-lings on a jaunt to one of these farms here in a couple weeks. They love it. Have a great weekend. TTFN ~Marydon
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blog. I loved visiting Missouri. My daughter lived in West Plains for five years and loved it. Keep on blogging this was enjoyable. Deb
ReplyDeleteLooks like a grand time was had by one and all. I remember how important it is for these special children to experience the field trips we would plan. Your a blessing to them, I know.
ReplyDeleteHave a super school week and enjoy the evening!!!
Hi Melinda. It's always so good to hear from you. :)
ReplyDeleteSeeing the photos of your school kids, who look just like my school kids, reminds me that they are all just kids...no matter where they're from! They look like they had a blast! We had a professional development day this past Friday, no kids, just grown ups. Much quieter for sure!
Our weather is finally turning towards fall, although jackets are still an option. I prefer them to be a necessity, but that's just me! Nice rainy day today.
You have a good week too. Tally ho!
Ahh the kids are all so cute! That must of been a lot of fun! Many years ago I used to live in Liberty, it sure has grown! Traci
ReplyDeleteI bet you were tired at the end of that day! I know field trips always wore me out and none of my kiddos were "special"!!!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful that you were able to provide these kiddos with this experience.
