Today was Buster's Kindergarten field trip to a local farm/pumpkin patch. It was a beautiful day, and we had so much fun. We met at the school where a bee keeper gave a really interesting presentation on bees, which the kindergarten class has been learning all about. Afterwards we all had a picnic at the park next door to the farm. The kids had time to eat and play. Next we visited the farm where we went on a hayride along the Poudre River. The fall foliage was beautiful, and everyone enjoyed the ride.
Buster said his favorite part was picking out a pumpkin. The one he picked was very small, but he was certain it was the one he wanted.
The girls looked so cute in their overalls, which they call their farmer outfits. They were so glad they got to come along today.
Everyone enjoyed the chance to feed some of the animals. After spending time on Mema's farm the girls weren't scared at all, and knew exactly how to give them their food.
It really was a beautiful farm. It's hard not to notice Chiggie's absence on days like today. It has been so different to go places without her. I am happy for her that she is branching out, and beginning the emancipation process that normally takes place in high school, but that certainly doesn't make it easy. However, I do try to focus on the positive. Tea is really stepping up and taking on many of the responsibilities that Chiggie used to have. I am doing my best to relax and enjoy this precious time with my kids.
