Schnepf Farm Trip ~ Oct. 12th

San Tan offers a field trip extension each fall to Schnepf Farm. This means that if you want your child to go, you also have to go. This was a fun outing last year and so thought we'd do it again. Patrick's best buddy, Evan, was going so that made it even better. We spent about 3 hours there walking around and letting the kids play. Then we headed to McDonalds for lunch and more play time. Patrick was thrilled as he was able to ride with Evan in his vehicle.

Evan, Reagan, Patrick, and Aaron in the Pumpkin Patch.









Patrick, Evan, and Reagan riding on the airplanes. Erika didn't read the sign getting the kids in and thought parents had to go, so she tried to fit into the plane only to be told by the attendent that adults weren't allowed. Needless to say, he got a good laugh!

Notice the looks on Evan and Patrick's faces on the rollercoaster. They were scared to death. They were insistent on riding though. Erika, Evan's Mom, rode right behind them. They had a death grip on each other. Evan was screaming and Patrick too scared to do anything. They actually stopped the ride so they could get off. A lesson learned I guess.
Evan, Patrick, and Reagan each got to pick a small pumpkin (0r punkamin as Patrick calls them) out of the patch on our way out.







A little gathering before we begin our journey on the farm. Tyler, Reagan, Hayden, Patrick, and Evan all stop to pose for a photo.
On the train ride. Patrick, Evan, and Hayden are in the same class at school.

Patrick coming down the BIG slide. This was a hit, although made for some dirty children!
Patrick was determined to try this sling shot game. He didn't do well, but had fun trying.

Looks like a really fun place. May have to share the sling shot picture w/our friends who have a pumpkin farm
