Fall City Farms is Pumpkin Fun!

The Pumpkin Farm was so fun!  There is a hay bale maze there that had thousands of tiny mushrooms growing on top of each bale of hay.  When we got to the middle we played "ring around the rosie" and all fell down!  Then it was time for our hay ride.  The farmer took us all over their fields and the resident dog jumped on and off the tractor to many smiles and laughs!  We hiked way out to the fields and looked for pumpkins no bigger than the "size of our heads".  It turned out that the pumpkins in the field were VERY big so we just walked around observing how pumpkins grow and then went back to choose pumpkins at the farm store.  We made pumpkin shakers and sang "Shake your sillies out" with them shaking along.  They were very loud!  The sun shone the whole time and a Great Blue Heron greeted us at the pond. 

We ended the class with individual bags of popcorn and a few stories.  Yum!
