kailea's first field trip





kailea had her very first field trip. they went to avila barn, very timely as it is pumpkin time. we were offered sweet and juicy gala apples grown in their apple farm. the kids devoured each one while we waited for a hay ride. off the kids went, as soon as the pumpkin patch was in sight. kailea loved that she got to 'pluck' her own pumpkin, and not just pick from a bunch of already 'plucked' ones. like the clifford story ms. carr read in the class before the trip, the tractor broke down. all the kindergartners were yelling out, 'we need clifford to pull the hay cart!'. that was a trip. rather than wait for the tractor to start up again, we decided to walk back to the barn. there, they had fun with all the animals. the kids even ran into the hay maze. i of course ran after them to make sure they find their way out. i swear, i will never go in that maze again.

what was her absolute best part? riding the school bus. for the very first time too. she asked, 'where are the seat belts, mom?' yeah, where are they?
