On Thursday, October 22, Matt had his first official school field trip to a pumpkin farm in Vernon, NJ. Being a class mom, I was able to go as a chaperon for the trip. We all loaded on to a tour bus (no yellow bus here a bathroom is necessary for preschoolers) in the morning and headed out on the long drive. When we got to the farm, we first went on a hayride through their "haunted" tour area - most kids weren't scared by it. Then, we saw all their farm animals which was followed by pig races. Matt was a little upset after that because he didn't win at the races. They chose kids to represent the pigs that were racing in each race and he didn't get chosen, so he had a small crying meltdown. After that we picked our pumpkins, ate lunch and then let them play in the different hay and cornstalk structures they have for the kids. The teacher bought apple cider donuts and cider that the kids had as a snack just before getting on the bus to head back to school. Now you would think that after all that he would have been sleeping on the way back, but no he was too bust watching Nemo on the bus TV. We made it back just in time for Emily to be dismissed from school. It was a great day. The weather was absolutely gorgeous which we were hoping for after our rain and cold spells we've had the last few weeks. It was so much fun being able to go with him too. Thank you Matt for our special day together.
