Graham's first Field Trip

Graham and his class from Calvary Methodist walked over to the neighboring church's pumpkin patch. It was quite a site to see 6 babies in one large commercial stroller.
Things were going well and I was able to snap a few pictures of Graham around the pumpkins until the wagon was spotted.

Things went downhill from this point on. Graham wanted nothing to do with his class or the pumpkins, he was only interested in pushing and pulling the wagon around. You can see his friend Rayven has just tried to play with the wagon and Graham, very seriously, leaned down and told her no in his on way. I was shocked to see my son (who cannot talk) telling another sweet little girl off in such an ugly way. I had had enough and took the wagon away as punishment and boy did that make him mad. No more wagon for Graham. After dealing with this situation, I had to turn to help the teachers coral a few other little ones who were heading to the street. When I turned around to make sure Graham was minding and not touching the wagon, this is what I saw...


Graham has now suckered a dad into pulling him around. He's a smart cookie. He was minding me, but still getting to play with the wagon at this poor dad's expense. What a field trip. I've decided I may not try to make another field trip for a while.
We did try to get a class picture. What we were thinking. You can see how things are deteriorating quickly.

and so much for that idea.
