Her first..





Isabella's been having a lot of firsts lately. I know I have a ton of pictures but it was really hard for me to choose only a few since she did so much! =)

Isabella had her first field trip on Wednesday. Her pre-school class went to the pumpkin patch. They started out the day with a lesson on how things grow. They actually got to plant a seed in dirt and got to take it so that they can grow their own peas. Then all the parents and children loaded onto the tractor and went for a ride through the walnut orchard. She stopped the hay ride right in the middle of the orchard and explained to the kids how the walnuts are harvested and the different stages they go through. Isabella was so excited when I told her that it was just like what papa does with his trees. Then we went and picked up five walnuts from the ground and they put them all in a bag for class. After that they had a lesson on how pumpkins grow and they even showed them the stages a pumpkin goes through. Then they were able to pick their very own pumpkin and take it home. Mommies got to pick a pumpkin too. Then it was play time. Isabella was so excited to check everything out. First, she jumped into a huge pool of Lima Beans. (They said that their was 2 tons of them.) Then she ran through the hay maze. Lastly, she played on the tractors and took pictures on the painted boards. After playtime they had snack time and then the field trip was over. It was such a fun field trip! Isabella had a blast!!

And as for me, it was really fun! I enjoyed spending time with JUST Isabella, thank you Vola! I also enjoyed watching Isabella have fun and she loved it. It was fun to finally be a mom on a field trip rather than a teacher. It was much more enjoyable. I only had to watch one kid instead of 32.
