Pumpkin Patch field trip





Yesterday was our first field trip of the year.. to the pumpkin patch!!   We got to ride a school bus (with no car seats or seat belts!), ride on a tractor, and pick our own perfect pumpkin :)

After much contemplation on which one was the "perfect" pumpkin, I decided to go for a big one  (because I eat lots of spinach and I have big muscles so I can carry heavy things now :).

We also got to learn about how they harvest potatoes from the ground, clean them and pile them up in a big shed.  Did you know they store them in a dark shed because if they have too much light on them they turn green?  I also learned that the yellow ones, red ones and purple one all taste different!
