Bethany's First Field Trip

On October 13th, I got to take Bethany on her first field trip. All of the 3 year old preschool classes went to Countryside Farms, a little farm near Poland, Ohio, for some harvest time fun.

When we got there, the farm had all of these cute things set up for the kids to explore and take pictures by. Some of the art they had was really impressive!

 

 The first stop of the trip was a wagon ride through the woods. It was so fun to snuggle my Bethany on our short ride through the beautiful countryside. 

 

The farm had lots of fun decorations set up in the woods as well, like witches, ghosts, and Disney characters. We had a good time spotting everything along our path, and thinking about how the rest of our family would have enjoyed the decorations too, especially Grace.

After the wagon ride, we took a quick stop to see the pigs. We had never seen this species of pig before so that was neat!

Then we headed over to the pumpkin patch. Bethany quickly chose her little pumpkin, and then helped me pick out mine as well. I loved that we both got to take one home. They are now making the cutest decorations for our front porch.

 

 

Showing off our prized pumpkins:

A girl from a neighboring ward was there with her daughter as well, and she was kind enough to take a few pictures for us. I LOVE how they turned out!

Next, we headed to the corn maze. I couldn't help but think about Travis as we did it because we always do them with him.

We meandered through the maze for a while, and then Bethany and a little preschool friend helped us find our way out.

We finished the field trip with a snack of popcorn and apple cider...

...and a quick pic with one of Bethany's preschool teachers, Miss Collette, who Bethany loves.

We had a great time! I was grateful I got to go on her first field trip with her and have a fun mommy-daughter date together.

 Now I'm looking forward to volunteering at both Grace and Bethany's harvest/Halloween parties next week!
