The goat wouldn’t look at my camera so I had to point him in the right direction 🙂
Eli went with his school on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. The crazy mom that I am, was worried about something going wrong such as Eli getting lost, or hurt, so I volunteered to be a helping hand and went with them.
It doesn’t look like a lot of kids, but with 11 of them with only 3 adults, it was quite the challenge to make sure they were all with us at all times.
The goats were pretty cute. They had about 10 of them and at one time, all the goats had their heads poking out all the holes.
After the tour of the pumpkin patch, they held class. They learned about seeds and how they grow.
Each student received 3 cotton balls that were dipped in water and three bean seeds.
The cotton balls were then put in the fingers of a glove. The gloves were tied off with rubber bands and will be taken back to school to be observed and watch them grow into plants.
A pumpkin patch isn’t complete without a maze! So through the maze, we went.
At the exit, each student picked out their own mini pumpkin to take home.
EVERY child had a great time and was exhausted when they got back to school. It was a fun day.
