Pumpkin Time at School

The kids preschool enjoys making pumpkining as I like to call it fun for the kids. Roo's class went on a field trip to Belvedere Plantation to go pumpkin picking and Bug's class did pumpkin picking in the field at the school. Both classes went on a tractor ride at the school as well.

Roo's field trip to Belvedere got cancelled when it was originally schedule be luckily there was enough time left in pumpkin season to go on the field trip the following week. We had a blast on the field trip and spent the rest of the day hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa.

Bug's class picked pumpkins together in the field at school and once I scan the picture, I'll post the picture of him picking his pumpkin. He was really proud and happy and seemed to have a great time with his friends.

The school has pictures of all the kids on the tractor, I'll have to see if I can scan those in as well. All in all though, they're having a great fall and loads of fun at school!

Let's Go See Fish

We took the day off of work today since the sitter was off and decided to take the kids to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. When we left the house we called Uncle Matt to see what he was up to and he decided to meet us there. The drive didn't take too long and we had everything we needed packed for the day. We got there and met up with Uncle Matt and wandered around the exhibits for a few hours. We saw the 4D Dora show as well. The kids seemed like they were getting a bit tired and hungry so we left and got lunch. We decided on Chipotle since we all like it and it's easy to get food for Bug there. The kids enjoyed their lunch and playing around with Uncle Matt. On our way home we stopped for ice cream and dinner. Shocking how much food those kids can pack in on a given day. We had a great day and it was so much fun to just do something different with the kids for the day! Roo's favorite fish were the sharks and Bug's favorite were the little Nemo's.

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!
