Early in October we went on a field trip with our homeschool group. It was actually two field trips in one day.
Our first stop was the Bass Pro Shop. The group had a tour guide take us through the store. Who knew you would ever need a guide to take you through a store?? The tour guide even gave them free play at their laser shooting range for about 15-20 minutes. The kids (and their dad) loved it!
Our next stop was at a huge pumpkin patch. In addition to pumpkins, they had all kinds of other activities. The kids participated in many of them. Some of which are pictured below.
Here the kids are on petal powered racers.
This was serious business. ;)
This activity was called pillow jumping.
It was basically a giant, air filled, outside bounce house.
This activity was called Pumpkin Blasters.
The pumpkins were shot out of a cannon
like apparatus at around 100 mph!
Here the kids are on the zip line.
Roo is in the orange shirt.
Beau is in the black.
A few weeks later we took the kids to an annual event held at a nearby zoo. The zoo opens their gates in the evening and allows kids to wear costumes. There are vendors throughout the zoo handing out candy. We enjoy this event as the kids get to collect candy, wear a costume and see the nocturnal animals when they are the most active.
This year Roo was the Nile Princess that drew Moses from the water. Beau was the adult version of Moses. This fit in perfectly with our CTG studies.
Here are Roo and Beau in costume

who dressed as a 'nerd'.

Fun was had by all.
