Petting a goat
Now is the time of the pumpkin patch. And the harvest festival. We just went to a church harvest festival over the weekend which had a petting zoo, moonbounce, pony rides, face painting, and games. It was fairly inexpensive and the kids got lots of fresh air. Sure made them sleep well that night. And the pumpkins from the patch were good too. I used fresh pumpkin for a recipe for the first time in life. It’s not actually that hard. Here’s a link to a list of commercial pumpkin patches, http://dc.about.com/od/childrensactivities/a/pumpkinpatches.htm. Some of them have hayrides and corn mazes as well as other activities. My 1st grader recently went to Butler’s Orchard on a school field trip and had a fine time.
