What an a-maize-ing day at Thompson Farm! Our Pre-K and Kindergarten Bengals went on their very first field trip to the pumpkin patch and had the best time ever!

They bounced sky high on the giant bounce pad, learned all about the pumpkin life cycle, met and fed friendly farm animals, and even took a hayride to feed some American buffalo! After a fun picnic lunch, it was time for more play and laughter!

A huge thank you to Thompson Farm for such a wonderful, educational, and joy-filled experience. It’s safe to say our littlest Bengals made some pumpkin-sweet memories today!
