Pumpkin Patch

Ever since Faith started preschool many years ago, we have gone on the annual pumpkin patch field trip with the preschool.  Today was the field trip, but we ventured to a different pumpkin patch this year!  The kids were extra excited as we traveled to the Painted Pony farm where they went to farm camp this summer! 
 
After hearing about the farm and having the chance to hold some of the baby chicks, the kids were let loose in the pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin!  Both Faith and Shane think that they found the most perfect pumpkin!

The ponies are right next to the pumpkins, and so Faith took the chance to pet them!  She was telling the other students and parents the names of the different ponies!  She felt very good having all the "inside" info to share with other people!  It was fun to watch her!
 
One addition to the farm from the summer was the piglets!  Three weeks ago 14 piglets were born on the farm!  We were told that in another month or so they will each weigh 100 pounds!!
 
The highlight of the field trip for Shane was feeding the goats!  I think he could have done that for an hour!
 
Faith enjoyed it too!  Naturally she was showing some of the younger kids how to properly cup their hands after seeing them just throw the food at the goats!
 
What a fun morning!  Olivia joined us too as Steve is at work, but thankfully she was happy to stay in the stroller and be entertained by all the animals and kids!
