Plumper Pumpkins

Pre-School is amazing. Partly because of all the fun field trips they get to go on. For this one we all got to go to a pumpkin patch, called "Plumper Pumpkin Patch". It was our first time going but probably one of my favorites so far.

See how excited they are? We'd been talking about it for weeks.
Our friend Everett showing what to do with a pumpkin. This is teacher Krista and the Plumper Pumpkin lady teaching all about the different kinds of pumpkins and gourds. Very informative.
They were quite attentive. NOTE: they kept their hoods on pretty much the entire time, insisting it was going to rain, which in Oregon is a pretty safe bet. After that began all the fun slides and other kids activities. There were at least 5 big slides. So awesome. Here's some funny moments I caught.

Levi's pal Isaac who he carpools with. Another kid in his class. Don't worry, no one was hurt, they just laughed it off. What tough pre-schoolers. Max and Abe mostly just played on the stairs, a little too scared to go down. At least at first. Max thoroughly enjoyed being around all the 'big kids' he followed them around and copied whatever they were doing. It was very sweet. Levi, Isaac and Kade showing me their muscles. Max likes to play tough, but this calf kind of scared him. When he saw everyone else going and petting it he was in. They had these hand pumps you could pump water out of down a pipe and it would float a duck. Unfortunately it wasn't really work despite all the arm work Max and Everett put in. They were at it a while, convinced they would get water no matter what. I was helping Levi with something and lost sight of Max for a second. Talk about a scary 30 seconds!!! But he was just at the top of the stairs with all the other kids. Sweet Kade Haroldsen was so nice and kept trying to convince Max it was ok to go down the slide. Didn't work, going up and down the stairs were enough for him. Hayride!!!!And we HAD to check out the tractors.

Levi with Teacher Kim. It was very cute to see them interact. He ran up to her and grabbed her hand to tell her something extremely important. He sure loves his teacher.

Yummy snacks.

Maze #3. They were very frustrated with this one so we cut our way through and picked out our pumpkins. On our way out Levi insisted we get smaller, baby pumpkins so the bigger ones would have side kicks.
