Pumpkin Patch Field Trip with Nana

I can not put into words how much I appreciated Nana’s presence on our field trip to the pumpkin patch with the girls’ preschool.  There is NO way I could have done it alone.  The girls ran in two different directions,  at least one of them was needy or whiney at any given time and there is no way I could have handled the two of them, their two pumpkins, lunches, and jackets without a stroller. 

The field trip was a lot of fun.  We went to The Farm at Swan Lake just north of Seattle.  It is a great farm with all kinds of fun stuff for the kids to do.  They ran through a hay barn which ended in a big slide, had rubber ducky races, a corn pit, swings, animals, tractors to climb on, you name it, they had it.
