For our last venture to a fall farm, we got to have a sweet day at Stoneyridge Farm with Everly's preschool class on their field trip. Parker didn't have school today and Friday happens to be the only common day off for Jeremy and I so we turned it into a family day alongside the class for a bit. :) It poured down rain. It was freezing cold. The kids took turns crying until at one point approximately 11 out of 12 were crying. Yet we still had a wonderful time. Because it was a day with no school. There were parents and grandparents and siblings there. With 12 kids in the class, we were a group of almost 50. These kids are loved. These kids are supported. These kids have people around them who want to see their little preschooler eyes shine with excitement when they visit the pumpkin farm together. And we learned about pollination and ate snack together and picked out our pumpkins and took turns offering a hand, a hug and holding one another's children, despite rain, despite the freezing air, amongst friends.
Learning about pollination. A bee puppet is always a big hit.
Everly was laying claim to her pumpkin. She informed me her fingers were too cold to pick it up.
And lo and behold, we ran into our dear friend Kate.
Everly was elated. Kate is possibly her most favorite girl in the world.
We have this same picture since Parker was 9 months old. And I think we always will.
A great day. And we warmed up with cider donuts. Because, why wouldn't we?
