Ali's preschool went on a field trip to Hee Haw Farms. Lydia was at school, so it was just me, Ali, and Bryant. It's kind of nice to get to focus more on Ali this year with her things. Poor neglected middle child. We started out in the pumpkin patch where Ali proceeded to pick out every rotting pumpkin there. I pointed out many acceptable, ripe options, but she continued to point to a rotting pile of goo and say, "How 'bout dis one momma?" We finally found one we agreed on.
Next we went into the corn maze. I decided I was going to let her pick the paths because, hay, we couldn't get too lost right? She picked path after path that led us deeper into the maze, or in circles. When I would try to steer her in a more out-going path she would stay put until we went her way. I realized that I no longer heard other people in the maze and we must be the last ones from our group still going in circles. I started making it sound like the way out was the path she had choosen and that she was so smart! No worries, we made it out, and caught up with our group in time to get on the hay ride.
The hay ride was crowded, bouncy, and uncomfortable. Ali thought it was "gweat!" Bryant seemed to think the bouncing was fun too.
Next it was on to the petting zoo, the slides, and the hay jump. Another mom was nice enough to take Ali down the BIG slide since I had Bryant, a diaper bag, and a pumpkin I had been lugging around this whole time.
We all smelled like a farm, I was exhausted, Ali had streaks of dirt on her face, but we had a great fall fun day. Ali is such a sunshine girl, everything is fun with her.
