Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Right before Halloween, we went on our first Field Trip to the Lyon Family Farms Pumpkin Patch in Taft, Tennessee. It had been raining a few days before our trip, but thankfully we picked a dry day for our adventure! It was awfully muddy, though!
First we went on a hayride.

Linnea and Heaven waiting for the ride to begin.

More of our class waits for the start of the hayride.

Then we stopped in the pumpkin field and got to pick our very own pumpkin.

Kermit and Cooper with their prized pumpkins.

Coleman, his Mom, and Bradley walk back to the tractor with their pumpkins.
Afterwards we headed to the barn where Ms. Martha read us a story about pumpkins.

Then we walked over to the second barn where we got to pet some animals.

Cooper and the pig. It took the farmer a while to catch this little, squeally guy!

Ty and the calf

There were also goats that needed some attention.
Next we were let loose in the corn maze and had to find our own way out!
Cameron and Linnea laughing as we got lost AGAIN!!
The exit led to a great playground!

Ty going down the BIG slide.

Cooper was bouncing so high on the inflatable slide, I couldn't get his head in the picture!
By this time, we were extremely hungry! So we sat down to eat a picnic lunch.

And that was our adventure at the Pumpkin Patch!
