Cruz's preschool teacher decided this year she would have their annual pumpkin farm field trip at her house. That made my pumpkin farm year!
We loaded up Cruz, Tyce and two Joneses and headed about a mile west of our house to Teacher Jan's walnut farm. She told all about the walnut machines, let them pick their favorite pumpkin, took them on a hay ride and gave them freshly popped popcorn & juice. It was so simple and fabulous. The kids loved having their teacher as their tour guide and of course she was super personable, loving and a natural horse three-year-old whisperer.
We finished up the morning with some walnut demonstrations. My favorite was the machine that hugged the trunk of the tree and SHOOK! Then it rained walnuts. One of the coolest. things. ever.
Out of the 4 years of pumpkin farm field trips this was my favorite.
