Evelyn's First Field Trip

Yesterday Evie and her Kangaroo class went on their very first field trip! 

Evelyn was so excited and she couldn’t wait to wear her navy LCC t-shirt and go to the Jacquemin’s Pumpkin Patch in Plain City, OH. The kids got to go to Pumpkin School and learn about all different types of pumpkins.  Evelyn’s favorite was the white ‘Snowball” pumpkin.  They also got to see a ‘baby’ pumpkin on a vine that still had an orange blossom and pick out a ‘pie’ pumpkin from the patch.  After a small snack, the kids were able to run around in the hay bale maze, go down the slides and play in the corn boxes (large grain boxes filled with dried corn).

I was excited to be a chaperone.  I wanted to see Evelyn’s interactions with her friends and put some faces to the names she’s mentioned.  I was also happy to get the chance to talk with her teacher.  Evelyn really seems to love Miss Teri and she is seriously wonderful with the kids.  I was impressed at how attentive the children were when they were at Pumpkin school.  They were all so eager to learn!  I loved how all of the children sang “Thank you Jesus for our food” (to the tune of a nursery rhyme I can’t think of right now) before they ate their snack.  It was nice to get to know some of the parents too.

It was a great day all around!
