Axel Axel Pumpkinhead

Field trip! Axel's Pre-K class took a field trip today to J. Perry Farms in Ardenwood, Fremont. Good thing they were color coded (orange) because 5 other schools had their field trip as well. Highlights were the tractor hay ride. We got a quick tour of the organic farm and learned interesting factoids about vegetables, like how pumpkins grow. The tourguide-slash-farmer also had interesting advice for people with allergies. It's apparently good to consume honey made by bees in the region you are residing in. This is because the bees will carry the pollen from your area, and the honey will help you build a strong immunity to the allergents in the pollen! You learn something new everyday. Later, all the students were allowed to pick one free pumpkin, the size of their own head. When we got home, I went ahead and carved the pumpkin's face, under Axel's careful supervision. We'll use it to decorate our patio on Halloween.
