It’s Salley Cat. We just had the most awesome afternoon at school. We went for a field trip out to the farm where Sparky’s Uncle Arte took us for a hay ride. It was a perfect day. The sun was shining and it wasn’t too cold. We all piled onto the back of this big wooden wagon made of planks. We sat on the benches along the side of the wagon and Arte gave us these warm, fleecy plaid blankets to cover our legs with. Then he climbed onto the tractor in front and we were off!
We went along this winding path along the side of a huge pumpkin patch. I didn’t know there were so many different types of pumpkins. There are these white pumpkins and these weird warty pumpkins with funny bumps all over them.
The hay cart shuddered and shook the whole time. I was kind of scared it was going to fall apart but Ms. Cowoline said it was designed to absorb all the bumps in the pathway.
We followed this dirt path all the way along the side of the pumpkin patch until we reached a large field of corn and Ms. Cowoline told us all to get out. Then she showed us the entrance to a gigantic corn maze! We all dashed into the maze. It was crazy – the corn was so high we couldn’t see each other through the stalks but I could hear Roberta and Cowabelle giggling so I knew they were close by. We were all running around, laughing, when suddenly I went around a corner and crashed right into Sparky! It was okay though because we weren’t going THAT fast and we fell against a wall of soft corn stalks so we didn’t get hurt. But then Stoogles came tearing around the corner and almost ran us over! After that we decided to team up and help each other find the way out. We started leaving little markers – a couple of leaves set in an X pattern to let us know where we’d been so we didn’t retrace our steps. As we went on, we gathered more and more friends in our group until finally we saw the sunlight shining more brightly through one crack in the stalks and we knew it must be the end of the maze.
Ms. Cowoline was waiting for us with a big smile on her face. She said she was so proud of the way we cooperated with each other and used the markers to help find our way out. She told us it was time to go home so we all climbed back onto the hay cart and headed back.
We were filthy and covered in leaves when we got home but it sure was an epic day!
Wow! Time for a hayride at the pumpkin patch AND the Halloween Parade!! :-)
How awesome! I’m glad you guys had fun, Salley! I want a backyard like that too! ;)

I have never been on a hay ride, but I would love to go. I wish our town did a Halloween Hay Ride. That would be so cool!
I’ve never been on a hayride because of allergies. :(

How was it not cold!? There was snow!
I love hayrides! Corn mazes are fun, too. We just went to a corn maze recently (last week). However, it didn’t take us much time to find the way out. Still, it was fun.

Same here SapphireSea! Hayrides are the best. One time I was on a hayride and they had little bunnies on the wagon! It was so cute and there was enough for each person to play with during the ride, so no one felt left out. :) The corn maze sounds fun as well, but I’m not good at mazes. I’d probably end up being lost in it for a while! :mrgreen:

Hay makes me sneeze- a lot. :( :lol:

sounds fun, but i m sooo sick of the word epic.
When I was in kindergarten we did a maze, and one kid could not find the way out. My dad had to lift him over the hay bales! :mrgreen:
They had bunnies on a hayride?! That’s cool! I love bunnies! :mrgreen: Oh, and I’m sorry about you guys who can’t go on hayrides because of allergies, I have allergies, too. :( You know, SwedishLatte, I really like your name! :)
~~O~~SapphireSea~*~*~
Of course they had bunnies. Roberta went, didn’t she? LOL -*Dawnstar*
I know what you mean, starburst. My younger brother uses the word “epic” all the time, and it gets really old. We came to find out that he didn’t even know what it meant.
Corn mazes are fun and awesome! But wart pumpkins look creepy to me… :)
I love corn mazes! But, unfortunately, we didn’t go to one this year since we didn’t have the time. :( Hopefully we will next year.
