Roo's 1st Field Trip

Roo's preschool took a fun fall field trip to Belvedere Plantation. This was our first time going as it costs a bit more than going to Westmoreland Berry Farm thought it has a ton of fun activities. We met up with his class in the morning and it was a big cooler at the farm than at home so it was good Roo had his jacket. He was in a little bit of a shy mood so he mostly stayed around me as his classmates arrived and we waited for the field trip to begin.

The class took a class picture before going into the farm.
Once we got into the farm we made our way over to the tractor that takes everyone to the pumpkin patch. We each got a pumpkin and I let Roo pick my pumpkin which we agreed would be for Bug. He had a lot of fun picking the pumpkins and even found some pretty blue flowers in the patch.

After the patch the class did several different activities including going to a small petting zoo. Roo loved petting and feeding the animals!
After that the kids headed to a hug hay barn to play on rope swings. Though Roo doesn't have an food allergies we discovered this summer that he's very allergic to hay. As soon as we walked in it was clear that this hay barn was not a great idea. I felt terrible for pulling him from the field trip, but it was the last activity and he really wanted to go to lunch anyway. His teachers understood and we headed off for lunch.

Since I was already being a little mean, I decided to take a very short detour so we could get our flu shots. Roo was great and said he'd get his first. He didn't cry but exclaimed to the nice nurse that she hurt him! I got mine and then we headed of to Pho for lunch. We had a great time and headed home afterwards so we could relax after our busy day!
