Potato Field Trip

Yesterday Zane and I went with the kindergarten kids to visit a potato field. The kids watched the digger load the truck and then dug some potatoes of their own. We have 50 pounds of potatoes so I really didn’t encourage my kids too much but they had fun digging in the sand to find “treasures” as Zane called them.

Morgan found a potato that looked like a rabbit head.

The boy next to us pulled out a giant potato and then Morgan found this one. We decided we liked the baby ones best.


Then we came home and made POTATO SOUP for lunch.

Morgan got a little sand in her eye but other than that it was a fun day!

  1. I've heard that potato harvest is a holiday around there... 2 weeks off for potatos! Sounds like fun and potato soup sounds yummy right about now.

  2. Well I'm glad you supported Morgan even if you had too many potatoes. I have to sheepishly admit I've never gone to that field trip. Joaquin always found a way to go & honestly I haven't really pushed the issue. You're a much better mom than me!
