Today was Simon's first field trip and first ride on a school bus. I think he was equally excited about both opportunities...
The bus was full of moms (and two dads) and their squirrelly children. Luckily it was only a 10 minute drive as it was BUMPY and while I never get motion sickness, I was on the verge of it by the time we got there. It made me wonder if bus rides were always like that or if I just noticed now that I'm old.
After we got there, it was onto pumpkin picking right away:
He finally picked one that looked like an egg or an "eggy" as he says (why the "ee" sound follows 90% of his words I'll never know):
Snack time with Parker and Anna next to him, and Dylan and Lauren on the other side with Mrs. Hanson:
Mrs. Hanson requested all the kids get together for a picture. Simon adamantly REFUSED. He pitched a total fit and no amount of bribing was going to get him to go near that group. He ran off and I stopped to get a quick picture anyways of the cooperative children:
He ran a short way into the corn maze he earlier refused to go into and found this creepy couch, which finally made him smile:
It started off great and slowly went downhill, but I think most of the kids were feeling what he was feeling...tired. Now he is quiet upstairs and HOPEFULLY napping. Time will tell...
What cute pictures!! So fun that you can go along for these kind of things :)
ReplyDeleteLove that second picture. That field looks so overwhelming for a little one that needs to pick one pumpkin :) Happy Fall! Hope he napped!
