Field Trip to Pumpkin Patch

Matthew and his preschool made their annual field trip to the pumpkin patch. Matthew and his friends had a lot of fun despite one small mishap. One child from a different class was throwing rocks and no one stopped her before she lugged a golf-size rock. We all watched it sail through the air, finding its target on the forehead of one of Matthew's friends. It was almost slow motion watching the rock fly. None of us reacted in time to move the friend and the poor kid ended up with a small gash on the top of his head. This accident didn't stop the kids from enjoying the many festivities at the pumpkin patch. They had fun going down the slides, bouncing in the bounce-house and playing in big tires. Of course, they all came home with a pumpkin.
