Better late than never. Chase got to go to the pumpkin patch with his school class and mommy was able to chaperone. We had a great time. We learned how an apple tree is planted and taken care of. Then we got to pick an apple from the tree to eat. We also learned how they make apple cider and even got to try a sample. After the apple experience we climbed on a tractor and headed to the pumpkin patch. We saw how a farm is laid out and why they have a pond; it is not just for the ducks, the farmer uses it to irrigate the crops. We again were able to pick a pumpkin we got a "baby jack" pumpkin. They are too small for carving and not good to eat but they sure were fun to pick. After all the produce we headed back to the barn to watch how the farmer milked a goat. Did you know that goats milk can be used to make soap and hand lotion?
It was a very fun trip. Chase and I had a great time.
