Pumpkin Patch

Miriam's Class (&Elaine with the teacher)
A beautiful pumpkin
In the maze

Happy Hayrider
Another funny hayrider
I found the perfect one! Its a little heavy!
Still searching....I'M STUCK!!

Yesterday Miriam's Kindergarten went to the Ashland Berry Farm to pick out a pumpkin from the patch. I couldn't be a chaperone because I had Elaine with me but we were allowed to follow behind the bus and go with them. Elaine was upset she couldn't be on the bus with Meenum but when we got there we had a good time. Elaine loves being with the older kids and they like her as well. Miriam had wanted me to be a chaperone but when we got there it took her a while before she wanted us to talk to her or touch her! Stinker!
They picked perfect pumpkins and we will carve them soon. We got a hay ride which was REALLY dusty (we have not had a lot of rain this year) and exciting for the kids. The farm had to irrigate from the river because of lack of rain. We haven't had a good rain since Aug, and nothing on the horizon!! ** Updated** Oh and they also did a little hay maze so there is a picture of that.

Pumpkin patches, hay rides, chaperoning - yep! it's Fall and you're a mommy of a school kid. Don't get fooled - you still chaperoned even though you drove! Ah, I miss those days :(
