Yesterday I went on once last trip to the pumpkin patch with Amelia. I was a chaperone for her class trip. At the pumpkin patch we wondered around looking at trees, pumpkins and squash. The kids heard a presentation on how to grow pumpkins. We ended with each getting to pick out a pumpkin to take home, well back to school. The rest of the week the kids are doing scientific investigations with their pumpkins. Seeing if it will float, dissecting it, things like that.It was a good time because it was the last one. Next year there will be no more class trips to the pumpkin patch: the end of an era as the kids get older. Amelia is so grown-up now and at the same time only in kindergarten, bittersweet.
