First Field Trip! A Milestone for My Buddha Baby

Aaah Buddha. We aren't Buddhists...we started calling him that when he was a baby, because he was bald and well, fat. And peaceful as well, all things Buddha.


Today we got to take him on his very first field trip, for preschool at Uesugi Pumpkin Farm. We have been going there annually since we moved to our town in 2005. We met his class and went through a corn maze for kids, that was full of colorful and textural story boards. It was so fun to hear Buddha run from one to another going "Oooh! Look!". All the kids were adorable!


Every year, we like to have our boys stand by this sign and take a picture so we can compare how much they have grown. He looks like such a big boy now, just more mature, not necessarily SO much taller.


This was him last year with his brother Monkey!


We went on a hay ride and a train ride, as well as watched a movie about how pumpkins are grown and harvested. We also picked out our own pumpkins.




It was a gorgeous day in the mid 80's. Buddha got us all to himself, which is rare. Monkey was in school and little bro got all the attention from us today. It was really fun. (Ok, besides the meltdowns he had when we had to wait in line for the hayride, as well as the train. Which is why you don't see any photos of that. )
