Pumpkin Patch

We had our first field trip with Cooper's preschool this morning. We went to Farmer Anne's, Gales Creek Meadow Farm to pick pumpkins. The preschool goes to Farmer Anne's every May and plants pumpkin seeds and then in the fall they come to pick the pumpkins. It's pretty awesome, we had a great time tooling around the farm and then had a potluck with the preschool families from both the two-day and three-day class.

We found lots of snakes in the compost piles, three gardener snakes and one rubber boa snake. There were grasshoppers, woolly caterpillars, a rescued goose and roosters. Cooper loved the snakes, he and another girl took turns holding them and she actually caught one and was so proud. Sharon was also catching them for the kids.

It was great fun and the weather was awesome, sunny skies.
