Completed 10/5.
Class field trip. A lot of fun although at a detail level, it sort of sucked. I parked somewhere where my pregnant copilot couldn't get the door open wide enough to get out, embarrassing! Two classmates really wanted to help with spraying sunscreen, so I ended up ghost white by the time I could hide it. Super cute sharing sunglasses with kid's friend on the hayride and hearing all her dad jokes. The baby animals "petting barn" really made me cough a lot. Good convo with Nova Scotia grandma of a classmate and about the relative strengths of the local swim schools with the treasury mom over lunch. Almost got to use the first aid kit when a 2 day kid got a cut that actually bled. The kid saying "I'm bored of walking" early on in the Upick portion. Then she tripped in the radish rows and had a meltdown about being itchy. Cool conversation with another mom in the Upick line about which is harder, IM or being a mom. Then an emergency fireman's carry all the way back to the entrance to use the portapotties again. We managed to pick a small handful of bolted cilantro, 4 very small turnips (objective was 2). Skipped the 4 carrots and 1 onion. She did find an impressive cute 2 pound pumpkin and carry it to the cashier. I told her to be gentle like a baby because she was tossing it, but its stem was dislocated before she got there. Another melt down. Her carpool buddy had wanted a white pumpkin, but since there were only oranges, she planned to paint hers. Kiddo painted hers, too, predominantly orange. As well as the funky gourd we bought.
General takeaways: Tanaka isn't all perfect produce, there's a lot of ugly in there. Growing strawberries in what looks like rain gutters.
