Field trip

Today I enrolled Abby in an extra day of school so that I could go with Gabriel on a field trip to yet another Pumpkin Patch. This is the fourth one we've been to this year. It was 30 degrees when we left this morning and despite the gloves, hats and warm winter coats everyone was still freezing, but despite the cold everyone seemed to have a really good time. The kids learned about pumpkins and gourds, went on a hayride to pick out a pumpkin, walked through a small corn maze and played in a balloon house, the house had blown up balloons that the kids could play with, similar to a bounce house. It was cold but I'm glad I took the time to go. Unfortunately I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pictures of all the red noses.
