Field Trip to Walden Farm

Christian's class had a great day to pick out their pumpkins, take a hayride and learn about some animals. Here he is picking out his perfect pumpkin. They learned these are called pie pumpkins b/c they are the perfect size to get enough pumpkin to make one pie. Showing Mrs. Melissa he found an open one...you could see all the seeds and the insides of the pumpkin

Making their way through the maze




all the girls playing in the corn. They were being slow, methodical and neat...they boys were fast and messy. Big surprise, huh?

The whole class listening to a story about pumpkins and how they grow. They had talked a little about this the day before so they were eager to show off their knowledge. We were all so impressed by how quite and respectful they were. Mrs. Melissa says they love to learn and make her job easy:)





As you can see, Christian already thinks he's a little too cool to snuggle up to Mom in front of his friends. I could be sad or look at it as the ways things are supposed to be. The funny story from the day illustrates he still needs me even if he doesn't think so: The class was beginning to go through a corn maze and he turns to me and says: "I don't need you help Mommy...I'll make it myself" It was a very windy day and the wind made that corn sound a little spooky. After a few seconds of that he shouted back "Maybe I do need you Mommy"...It's nice to be needed
