The girls started out STRONG. They were boldly prepared to take on the pumpkin patch. Gracie, wearing her "Boo!" shirt, was particularly ready to frighten fellow attendees.
Pumpkin patch, here we come!!!
In no time flat, we were in the field picking out our pumpkins. After surveying a number of options, they were able to settle on two good picks.
Then they enjoyed the hay stacks and playing in the hay with all of their friends.
We checked out the farm animals ("stinky") and made our way over to the pony rides. Gracie has ridden a pony every single year and at every possible festival and opportunity, but this year she elected to watch. Lauren saddled up and had a great time.
After the pony rides, we ate lunch with their class. If you have not eaten lunch with four K4 classes, I highly recommend it. I have a new found respect for their K4 teachers, to say the least. After lunch, we rode the train, and then the class boarded the buses for the return trip to school.
The girls begged to go to the bounce houses. I conceded, earning a couple of compliments from Lauren:
"Mommy, you're so beautiful."
"You're the best mom ever!!!"
Funny.
We hit the six bounce houses with a vengeance! They totally owned those bouncers!
I drug them out of the last bounce house approximately 45 minutes later. They were exhausted, in need of water and asking me to crank up the air conditioning in the car.
After our arrival home, they slept for two solid hours. While having a post-nap snack of Goldfish crackers, Lauren asked, "Why are we eating Goldfish crackers for breakfast?" She was so disoriented she thought it was Saturday morning.
Pumpkin Patch: 1; Gracie & Lauren: 0
