Washington Farms with the Kindergarten

Today Jessica's kindergarten class went to Washington Farms in Watkinsville to go on a hayride, pick out a pumpkin, and learn about farming. Here's Jessica, along with a couple of her classmates, waiting for it all to get started:


Jessica brought her binoculars with her:

To the Pumpkin Patch with Elyse

On Friday, Elyse's class at Bethesda United Methodist Preschool went to the Pumpkin Patch to hear a couple of pumpkin stories and pick out a pumpkin. Here's Elyse with the inflatable giant pumpkin and black cat:

However, Elyse was much more interested in the bigger pumpkins:


Especially this one:

She did eventually settle for rolling it:


One of Elyse's classmates had brought along her six-month-old sister, who just fascinated Elyse:


They developed quite a rapport:


This is Elyse with the older sister of her baby-pumpkin friend:


Bunches of pumpkins:


Bunches of preschool visitors (and their teachers):
