Rufener's Farm Field Trip

Rylee had her first field trip of the year at Rufener's Farm in Suffield.  Since both preschool classes go together, my parents and Mackenzie were there too.  We've been on this field trip a time or two already over the years but this is the first time Rylee attended as an actual preschooler.  It was exceptionally hot that day which was a bit much for this 35 week pregnant lady.

We started the day off by playing on the slide, feeding the animals and riding the train.  After that we got to take our ride down to the pumpkin patch.  We made a pit stop first at the corn maze and the kids got to go through it.  After that we loaded back up and headed out to pick our pumpkins.  We found three good looking pumpkins and headed back.  I could have gone for some cooler weather but all in all we had a great day!

Field Trip: Rufener Farms

The Monday after the Spaghetti Dinner, Morgan and Mackenzie's class' had a combined field trip to Rufener Farms in Suffield. Greg was supposed to accompany me with Mackenzie but he caught whatever Paul and I (and what seems like everyone else) had the previous week.  So I ended up taking all three girls and leaving Tenley with my mom.  

We lucked out and got a nice day especially considering what most of October ended up being, weather-wise.  I was really enjoying this year since last year I was incredibly pregnant, it was hot and the girls picked out the two biggest pumpkins for me to lug around.  This year, I had three self-sufficient (for the most part) girls and no baby belly.

We started out on the tractor ride and headed back to the corn maze first.  They actually have a HUGE corn maze in the shape of the United States but we only went through the mini-one for sake of time.  I think it would take hours to go through the large one.

After that we headed over to where the pumpkins were so each of the girls could pick one out.  This year they were a little easier on me and picked smaller ones.

After we got back to the front the girls got to play on the slide and ride "the train". 

At the very end each class got together for a picture.  

This is what you get with 3 and 4 year olds.
