The kids and I joined Amanda’s preschool group to go to Black Island Farms for pumpkin patch fun and a few activities.
They had cool shaped swings made from tires; here’s Emma riding the airplane and going down the haystack slide.
Then we jumped behind a tractor for a ride out to the farms. Our driver, Farmer Casey, stopped by the carrot section and gave the kids all some vegetables to feed to the animals. I should have taken a picture of him. First farmer I’ve seen in “skinny jeans,” but he talked to the kids about the farms and different vegetables, and it was fun.
Then we rode to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin. Here’s Emma trying to decide what one to take home. Such an important decision to a 3 year old, and there were so many pumpkins! They even threw one in for Jacob, which Emma decided to claim as her own because it was smaller and she had an easier time carrying it.
They had the animal section with a whole bunch of different farm animals. Emma chose to give her delicious carrot to the donkeys, who downed the whole carrot in a couple bites.
And of course, my little guy was smiling and happy the whole day! What a trooper!
