Collin's Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Today Collin's preschool class had their first field trip. All of the children met up at Kinsey Family Farms in Gainesville for a pumpkin patch adventure. Collin was beyond excited! When we arrived at the Pumpkin Patch he immediately spotted two of his favorite buddies, Rahul and Yu, and ran over to say hello. All three of them explored the pumpkins and farm until the tour started. The tour was very well run and interesting. The class started off by listening to a story about the sights and sounds on a farm. Several tractors passed them during the story which the children were in awe of! They then made their way to the petting zoo where they were able to feed goats, cows, chicken and several other farm animals. Collin was a little timid at first but eventually warmed up and fed the largest cow they had. The class then went to the fields where they worked together to plant a tree. All of the kids worked together to dig a hole, put the tree in, and water it. All the boys and girls loved it! After the tree came the hayride. Collin and his classmates loved being on the tractor traveling through the Christmas tree fields. The driver stopped at a pond halfway through where they were able to feed tons of catfish. The trip ended with a picnic lunch followed by the boys playing in the dirt and getting as filthy as they possibly good. Collin had a wonderful time!
