Josiah's 1st Preschool Field Trip!

Today was Josiah's 1st Field Trip with his preschool class. He was so excited!!! We went to "The Farm."

Here is Josiah sitting on some really BIG pumpkins.

Some of the children didn't make it, but once the teachers had a good head count, we went for a hayride.

Here is our family on Josiah's 1st hayride.

Here we are riding with some of the other families out to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkin.

Josiah is a person of detail. Surprise, surprise...he's just like his parents. He needed to look at almost EVERY pumpkin in the patch. We were one of the first families out in the pumpkin patch & we were the last. He finally found the perfect pumpkin, though.

Once we all had our pumpkins, we headed into the barn for the hay maze. It was a 2+ story barn maze of hay. The kids enjoyed getting lost & finding their way to the big finale...."The Green Slide."

Each child was given their turn to go down the big slide right into a pile of hay! Josiah enjoyed it very much.

We then headed over to the petting farm. Josiah was not at all afraid to pet the animals. There were sheep, goats, ducks, ducklings, a bull, donkeys, pigs, kittens, chickens, a cow, etc. When Josiah walked up to an animal he would make sounds like that animal would make. I think he thought they could understand him.

Here Josiah is looking at the cute ducklings.

Josiah had a wonderful time with his friends. This is one of his very favorite friends, Bella. They evidently enjoy playing together at preschool. Dustin & I have even become friends with her parents.

Once all of the little animals, I mean kids, were washed up, they were surprised with an ice cream treat. Mmmm. The children were so excited that it didn't matter that it was cold outside.

Here is Josiah with another buddy, Benjamin, enjoying their ice cream Popsicle.

Once they finished their ice cream a lady announced that the duck race was next. I think everyone looked at each other & said, "Duck race?" We were all intrigued. Well, it was in fact a duck race. They put the ducks in this water & they raced each other.

These ducks weren't just swimming, they were really racing. The children & parents really enjoyed this. I think it was Josiah's favorite moment of the day.

After the duck race we all said our goodbyes & some of the children went home with their parents. We decided to check out the farm playground. It looked like fun.

It turned out to be a blast. Josiah loved sliding down this "BIG" slide. He thought the green one was cool, but hadn't seen anything until he tried this one.

We then found a corn pit. Yes, a corn pit! The kids that had stayed just dove right in & had a blast.

Here is Josiah, Bella & Reilley. He's got 2 ladies following him around...already a ladies man.

I thought this was a creative way to make a swing. The swings were made to look like horses with saddles. How cool!

After a fun day at the farm & pumpkin patch, we decided it was time to go home for some lunch. So, we piled on the tractor & headed home.

We had so much fun at Josiah's 1st Preschool Field Trip!
