This year we traveled down the hill to Folsom and landed at Zittle's Pumpkin Farm. It's a small little place with a nice selection of pre-picked pumpkins, a few farm animals, tractors, hay ride and a small store. We had a nice tour guide that told us lots of useless information about pumpkins and their species, and she almost captivated the 4-5 year old audience.
Cody and his pals waiting for the tour to begin.
Still waiting, but he's with his girlfriend, so all is well. 
The walked all around the farm, visiting the pigs, going under flower tunnels and through the corn. Then saw a funny demonstration from Farmer Angus (seriously?), on how to take the kernels off a cob of corn, then grind them down for chicken feed. Then he showed us his donkey, goats and cows while we waited for the hayride. 
After two loops around the farm, (This hay ride is Awesome! It's been forever since we did that, Cody told me along the way.) we stopped at the small pumpkin shed to pick our prize. 
"I'm hot and you want a picture of the dang pumpkin?"
After the pumpkin hunt, we headed over to ___ Howard Memorial Park for a snack and to run out more energy. The park was super nice, with a new shade structure for tables, two play grounds, lots of grass, trails, and a basketball court. We stayed for quite a while then had to go get Ty from G-ma's.
The first field trip of the year was a huge success! Another breath of fresh air, and can't wait to do more with Teacher Debbie!
