Tanaka Farms 10-15-12

Katie's first school field trip of the year was to visit the pumpkin patch at Tanaka Farms. David worked at home so that I could go with Katie. Here she is with her good friend Grace. These two are inseparable!

Here is Katie, Grace, and Rachel. We call them the three musketeers.

There was a tour of the farm that led us to the petting zoo. Katie and Grace both did not care for the animals at all. I actually had to carry Katie out at one point because she was so afraid of them.

It was pure chaos during picture time. The teachers seemed very disappointed they didn't get a class picture with the kids.

This year the returning students got an official badge with their pictures on it. I hope we get to keep them when they graduate.

The kids got to pick fresh vegetables from the farm.

And at the very end they got to pick their very own pumpkin. The rule was the kids had to carry the pumpkin the entire time. This prevented parents from picking the biggest pumpkin they could find.
