I was lucky enough this year to rearrange my teaching
schedule so that I could be a volunteer on Aidan’s Kindergarten field trip to
the pumpkin patch at Butler’s Orchard. This definitely was one of craziest
field trips that I have volunteered for… First of all, the buses were 45
minutes late arriving to Butler’s Orchard. So once the kids were unloaded off
the bus, they only had a little over an hour to play at various activity
stations, get a hayride to the pumpkin patch, pick a pumpkin, get a hayride
back, and eat lunch. Aidan and I were paired up with his friend Maya (she is so
sweet!). We quickly decided that the two important stations that we wanted to
try were the potato sack slides and then the rope spider web. Then it was time
to make a bee-line and run to stand in line for the hayride to the pumpkin
patch (it was long, as we were not the only school visiting the Orchard that
day). After the hayride, I basically told both kids that they had 5 minutes to
find their pumpkin and stand back in line to catch the hayride back for a quick
lunch. It was a miracle that we were able to do all this in such a short amount
of time, but we did (running helped)! As hectic as the field trip turned out
though, it was great getting to hang out with my boy and his school friend
during their field trip and see their happy faces.
