Dallins Class Field Trip to The Pumpkin Patch

Dallin was just as excited to ride on the school bus as he was to go to the pumpkin patch. It was fun to watch Dallin with all of his friends at school and just tag along. Justin's Mom used to always say that she wished that she were a mouse in the corner, so that she could watch the things that Justin was doing without him knowing that she was even there. I know what she means. I love to just watch these kids go about their lives, and I wish I could always be there without them even knowing it.
I get to volunteer in Dallin's class to help out every now and then. While I was volunteering Dallin's teacher had me help a little boy that she was having a hard time with. After helping out I was so sad for this little boy seeing that he was only 5 years old, in Kindergarten and already having trouble in school. The next day we had a morning devotional, I like to do these with Dallin and Elise every now and then, we talk about Spiritual things or read a scripture story, or a story from "The Friend" magazine. We read a story about a little girl that prayed for another little girl in her class at school and it helped her realize that she needed to be nice to her. Dallin said after we read that story that we needed to pray for this little boy in his class. We prayed for him every day. I was amazed that Dallin prayed for him every time that it was his turn to say prayers. Dallin came home from school one day and said, "our prayer worked, he didn't get in trouble at all today." It is so amazing to watch these kids and the things that they absorb. I was grateful that Dallin recognized when his prayers were answered.
Jayden and Elise got to come along. Jayden was interested in eating the pumpkins.


The corn maze. I got out of it before it was too late. Not a good idea with a stroller.
I am not sure what animal this is but we found it quite interesting.

The hay ride. Dallin loved this.
Elise got to tag along. The younger ones always get to tag along. Elise had a great time.
