LODO Pumpkin Patch

Little One's Day out hosted a pumpkin patch day on Tuesday, October 8. Although it wasn't a school day for either of the boys, any LODO student is allowed to participate with a parent in attendance. So, I decided that the boys and I should participate in the fun (especially since Justin was still out of town and I was pretty sure this would tired the boys out and provide a quiet afternoon for me.)

  When we arrived, Ms. Val took a picture of us carrying Garytt's pumpkin up the hill to decorate it.


Garytt was excited to decorate his pumpkin with a green marker. I helped his with the face and he colored in the hair. Westyn colored on the back side of the pumpkin in peach...ha!


The next station was like a cake walk, except rather than getting a cake, they had to do an activity like clap your hands, or dance a jig. It was cute.


The next station was the favorite station of both of the boys...the snack station! Garytt sat with his class and coincidently, Westyn's class was about to sit down at the next table. So, he was able to eat with the one year old class too.


After snack, it was time to take a hay ride. First, Garytt's class took a photo in front of the LODO Pumpkin Patch sign.


Once the ride was over, they took one more photo in front of the sign, this time with Ms. Soncha in the picture.


Next, the kids learned how to make apple butter. They put all the ingredients in a crock pot and then they got to take some home later in the week when it was done cooking.
 
  The next station was a painting station. Ms. Val put red and yellow paint on each paper and they got to see it turn to orange as they painted. It was a fun station, but very messy for Westyn.

Unfortunately, there were two other stations that we had to miss because we had to head to gym class. But I'm so glad we made it over for the LODO pumpkin patch day. Both of the boys had such a great time!
