It just so happened that the day after everyone left (family back to NOLA and Doug to PA), Sam had his first field trip as a kindergartener. It was
pretty exciting ... riding on the school bus to
Motley's Pumpkin Patch. Sam was delighted to have me along for the trip and told his best friends in his class that "Mom is my buddy today. I can't be yours." Smile. It seemed important to him to be with me the whole time. We enjoyed a hayride, watching a couple pig races (I picked the winner, Jimmy Dean, the purple one) while snacking on halloween pretzels and slurping "pumpkin juice", feeding chickens and goats at the farm zoo, and picking a small pumpkin at the patch. "Hay play" was pretty fun and we picked a bigger pumpkin to bring home as well after having a picnic lunch along side the patch. It was a beautiful day. Sam's class is lining up below, maybe you can find him.
