Pumpkin Patch With Preschool

Today must have been one of the coldest, darkest, windiest days of October...at least it felt like it
when we were standing out in the middle of a pumpkin patch waiting for our tractor ride back in.
We met up with Mayson's preschool class at The Farm in Snohomish. It was a Farm alright. I had no idea it would be so big and so busy. There must have been about 15 other schools there that day. Total madness, but total fun for the kids. They have a barn hay maze, corn maze, animals, toys and of course....
pumpkin patches!

Earlier this month we had a...wow it really is a small world moment.
We found out that Mayson goes to preschool with Jacob. Jacob is the son of a girl who went to school with Matt. Jared is also really good friends with Jacob's Aunt. Mimi and Bobba know Jacob's grandparents and well of course....
Mayson loves Jacob!
We have been hearing about Jacob a lot around our house...and now we just laugh because it's all so ironic.
After talking with Jacob's mom....Mayson is a name that gets brought up around her house a lot as well.

This is the dark patch we were left at for about 20 minutes. It really felt like 45 minutes.
Slim pickings on the pumpkins.


I was warned on how cold it was going to be with the wind and all, so Miss May had on....
socks, 2 pairs of tights, leggings, jeans, onesie, 2 long sleeve shirts, 1 sweatshirt, 1 ski jacket, gloves,
and her warm hat! (thanks Aunt Micki for this hat..it has saved me more then once!)
One thing was for sure...Mayson was not cold. That was the goal and we succeeded!
She looked like a stuffed sausage and needed help walking. She could not do stairs by herself and if she fell, she would just lay there until I came to pick her up. So much padding that she didn't feel a thing!

They each got to pick out 1 pumpkin to take home and carve as a class on Friday.
Along with the many green pumpkins, there were gourds?! I had to talk Mayson out of
getting the gourd...not sure how you would carve one?



All in all we had a great visit at the pumpkin patch.
I will remember next year to go early in October instead of later....
world of difference weather wise.
