Lydia's pumpkin patch adventure

 Lydia's very first field trip as a kindergartner. The day was beautiful. The field trip had actually been cancelled last week because it was raining. Felix and I joined Lydia at the pumpkin patch/farm/carnival (I just say carnival because they had all sorts of money-making rides, etc.).
 First the kids got to go on a hay ride on a trailer covered with hay (covered with tarps, thank you), pulled by a huge tractor. It was pretty fun (as you can tell by Lydia's face). Felix liked it about half of the time. Next they got to pick out their pumpkin. Then there was a petting zoo (complete with Zebra!). Felix and I didn't make it into the tent that held the petting zoo. I think Felix and the animals would have done a pretty good job freaking each other out.
 The little kindergartners got to go through a hay bale maze, a corn maze, and learn about how a pumpkin grows!
Lydia was so happy to have us there. Parents are still kind of like rock stars to kindergartners. It was a nice day out, and I am glad we got to come!
