As the title says, that’s all this is. Possibly only interesting to Grandmothers who’ll be missing every-day updates while we’re away beginning Wednesday night.

Pumpkins at Cottonwood Farms
Today I went with Darius’ class to a pumpkin patch that’s pretty close to our house. The good news is that going with a school, admission was free. The bad news is, if you go individually, it’s $12 just to get in. The good news, Cottonwood Farms is not the most expensive pumpkin patch out there.
The first thing we did when we got there was go on a hayride.

With all the strollers & chairs, there wasn’t a lot of room for hay. It was a bouncy ride, and nearly every child fell asleep, except Darius – he loves bouncy, and was having a blast!

Next, we went to feed baby goats – well little goats, anyway. They ate grain out of an ice cream cone, then ate the cone. I Don’t really have a decent picture of it, but, here ya go:
LCD screen, sun behind me, and batts dying, I'm surprised to even see goats here!
We were getting ready to go, and saw this cow bench, just begging to have it’s picture taken with us.

We took a couple versions of a class picture. This is the one, I thought, turned out best…
Aide, Sam, Carolyn, Brady, Daniel, Rose, Darius, Barb, Samaria, Angie, Kenzie & Teacher Alex
…But this one has more people in it:
Daniel, Jared, Brady, Darius, Alex, Kenzie, Carolyn, Samaria, Barb, Sam,...
…Sam’s Dad, Timmy, Angie, Timmy’s brother, & Timmy’s grandmother.
After taking this last photo, everyone went & loaded the vans while I bought a couple of pumpkins for our house – the children each got a freebie. We had to get back to the school for lunch.
