Pumpkin Patch trip #1

It was a beautiful morning to go to the pumpkin patch with Shane's preschool.  The original day for the trip was last week Thursday, the day after our area saw 1.5 inches of rain!  And since there was still muddy areas remaining today, it was very good that the trip was rescheduled!  It is always fun to visit a pumpkin patch in the fall and feel all "fallish"! 

Here is Shane, doing his Spider man pose, and sporting the CPC Preschool t-shirt, which thankfully match the "color pants" that he insists on wearing every day!

The little scarecrows!!  After posing for all the pictures, the kids were able to learn from one of the farmers all about different types of pumpkins and how they grow.  Then we were all able to go on a hayride to see some of the animals on the farm, such as mules, a cow, chickens, a pig, and a goat!

Shane is discussing what those green bumps on the pumpkin might be with one of his teachers, Teacher Bev.  He suggested that maybe it was mold!

Finally at the end of our time at the pumpkin patch, each of the kids were able to pick out a small pumpkin to take home.  Faith claimed to find the perfect pumpkin!!

After the pumpkin patch we stopped by the brand new Panera Bread in Ventura!!  After six plus years of emailing the company, they finally listened to my pleas to bring at Panera to my city!  To say I am thrilled is an understatement!!  Since we were onto our next event, a park play date with some of Faith's friends, we took lunch to go and ate it at the park!  We will soon be regulars at this Panera!
