Today was Jacks's annual school trip to the pumpkin patch. Since I have been with Jacks for the last two field trips, plus I had a team celebration at my school today, Joe got to be field trip dad for the day.
This field trip is for the 3 and 4 year old classes. Realistically, Joe could have taken Nealy along for the ride. But I think it's nice that Joe and Jacks got to have a boys' day with just each other. And come on, Jacks hardly gets enough attention these days (heavy sarcasm there - I mean, did you see the last post about the greatest birthday party ever?).
I haven't been given a full blow by blow about what happened, because Joe and Jacks are boys and don't detail the minutia of every event like I do, but there are pictures to document the day.

Goofing with best friends.... and this is a truly unique class that Jacks has had the privilege of being a part of for most of his life. He has been friends with all of these boys since they were all on the baby hall. They are all just like brothers at this point. When they are all split up in kindergarten, we are all going to go through a serious period of adjustment.
Jacks touched a horse!!!
(This is actually a big deal for him. He has always been pretty leery of large animals. Okay, I'll go ahead and admit - all animals. He's not very trusting.)
And he touched a rabbit!
And he touched a billy goat!
And he touched a tractor!!!
I think they had a really great day together. And they know that they better not use the checkers on the air hockey table.
I was sad to miss the field trip, but I know that my boys had a great time together. And Joe captured every moment so much better than I would have. Since I am NOT the photographer of the family, I usually spend days like this gabbing with the other mothers and wishing Joe was there to take pictures. I guess I'm pretty spoiled....
Maybe next time we go we can capture photos of all of the oddities involved in a family run pumpkin patch (checker boards, air hockey tables, threatening signs, and more!).

If we're voting, I like beardless Joe.
