Pumpkin Patch and Raisin Cane

Due to onset of fall sicknesses, I took a little break from blogger. Right now, all the little ones in our house are well and we went to the pumpkin patch last wednesday to pick out some pumpkins. Mack only almost ran into the busy road in front of the patch once, so I feel like we deserve a parents of the year nod for that. 

Last Thursday, I got to go with Emma on her field trip to Raisin Cane. Raisin Cane is a farm here in Valdosta that has hay rides, a corn maze, animals, and educational "farm" games for kids. It's always a fun field trip! Emma was not very interested in me being there. She wouldn't even sit beside me on the hayride. We had a great time though, and I got some great pictures!

Mack jumped in a wagon and sat there waiting for us to pull him.

I couldn't resist getting a picture of the back of her head. She just looked so sweet listening intently about all the things that were produced on this particular farm. 

Her entire class was mesmerized by the ducks

Corn Angels

This was a water pump that they had to pump to get little ducks  (the plastic bath tub ducks, no real ones) down the pipe. 

Emma sitting as far away from me as possible on the hayride. I had to  zoom all the way to get this sweet face in a picture.

She was on a mission in the corn maze. 

And, she ended up being the first one out!
