Ashlyn's Field Trip

      Today was Ashlyn's field trip to a pumpkin patch.  Her preschool only does one field trip during the school year, so it was a pretty big deal for her.  She also got to ride on a bus with her friends which was the neatest thing ever for her.  Joey took the day off so he could come along.  Thankfully, the field trip was on a day that I don't work.  Joey, Dawson, and I followed the bus and got to be a part of the field trip.  I think parental support is paramount in a child's education.  I'm very glad that Joey and I got to be there and experience what she experienced with her.  She told me later that it meant a lot to her that we were there. 

    I had never been to this particular pumpkin patch before, and I liked it.  There was a lot for the kids to do.  They had a lot of different animals for the kids to see.  They also had hayrides, a slide, a swing, a hay mountain, tires to play in, a huge bouncy thing, and duck races.  Ashlyn's teacher is awesome and made sure that they went to every activity.  Ashlyn had a great time with her friends and Joey and I had a wonderful time watching Ashlyn interact with her peers and have such a good time.

They had a 600 pound pig named Emma.

They had this really neat bouncy thing that they called the "pillow". It was hands down the neatest bouncy thing I have ever been on.  It blew a trampoline or bounce house out of the water.  The best part was that a lot of kids could bounce at once.
