Sarah Katherine is now old enough to go on the big school field trip to the "Pumkin Patch". They had a sign for parents to sign up if they were going with their kids and of course EVERY parent is going. I had a meeting at the plant that day that I needed to at least set up for, so I thought this was a great opportunity to take SK with me to the plant, set up quickly, and then drive the just 8 miles over to the pumpkin patch. Well, the morning started off good - SK was super excited to go with mommy to work and then go see her friends - so much fun in one day!
Once we got the plant she wasn't quite as excited because a power plant is BIG. She was a bit scared of it all, but she took it all in and now knows where mommy goes when I go to the plant.
Then it was off to the "Pumpkin Patch". I put this in quotes because that was what was on every sheet of paper I received talking about their field trip. The "Pumpkin Patch" I know about is in Harpersville and super close to the plant. We went and waited, and waited, and waited and her school's buses never arrived. I finally called back to the school and it turns out there is a different "Pumpkin Patch" in Clanton - 40 minutes away!!! So, mommy composed herself and jumped in the car for Clanton. I was about to have a meltdown but SK was super cool, even took a nap on the way. We made it in time to get a pumpkin, take pictures, and eat lunch - whew! Needless to say, mommy learned a great life lesson for the day - there is a pumpkin patch in Clanton!
