Pumpkin Patch with Kierstin's Class

Today, Kierstin's class went to the Pumpkin Patch. It was a beautiful day to be there. There were 15 kids, 2 teachers, and a few parents and everyone had a blast. All the kids rode in the school vans (Kierstin loved riding with her friends) and parents followed them. The kids got to play in the bounce house, feed goats, play on a swing set, go on a tractor hay ride, have a picnic lunch, and pick out their favorite pumpkins. Here are some pictures....

We went to the Pumpkin Patch with my parents and CC & Matt on Saturday and had a blast. The Pumpkin Patch was empty, so we were able to make our way through everything without the crowds. Here are some pictures:
