C started dancing and running around like a monkey. The restaurant was empty so we didn't disturb anyone. He had a lot of energy!
It's hard to make out, but C's saying "must eat brains!"

The day ended with everyone participating in show-and-tell (in this case, no show and all tell). Winship Kindergarten's trip to the pumpkin patch.

After running around the pumpkin patch and playing games, everyone picked out his or her own pumpkin to take home. Winship Kindergarten's trip to the pumpkin patch.

Our group walked around the patch playing pumpkin races, pumpkin bowling, hay bale mazes, and walking the corn maze. I thought for sure I'd lose one of these kids in that corn maze! Winship Kindergarten's trip to the pumpkin patch.

On the Halloween path of horrors! Our group got together and surprised the next group...we didn't scare anyone but everybody had a good laugh. Winship Kindergarten's trip to the pumpkin patch.

We started our day at this overlook near Walhalla. We wanted to see the turning of the leaves this fall. We discovered that a lot of the trees were still green, even though we had some snow this weekend. Masonic overlook in Walhalla.
More pics from our recent trip to the Cities, from Rody's phone. On our way back from the Cities, we stopped at the Mills Fleet Farm store in Fargo and got the kids fitted for combat helmets.
