Friday had been a long time coming for sweet miss e. She had asked if it was Friday for two weeks now. She was asking specifically about field trip Friday and her 5-year-old self could not handle it anymore! She was thrilled when she woke up to the FRIDAY! She squealed with excitement and paused a minute to say she was kind of frightened to ride on the school bus since she had never done that before! Once we got dressed she was past ready to head to school to enjoy her first field trip!
Her sweet student teacher took this to assure me she handled the bus ride just fine!!
From the petting zoo, even getting bit by sugar the pony, to the corn maze, to the hayride to pick pumpkins to the playgrounds, a sandbox full of corn and on and on my girl was on cloud nine. She took in every adventure with such joy and was excited to be on a field trip with mommy. Despite her choking on a cookie at snack time and me having to do the Heimlich which led to her puking the cookie, the trip was successful!
As you can see there were many photo opportunities and this is one of my favorite shots. These two! They melt my heart on so many levels. I prayed Emerson find a friend she could be her self around, one that she could have over always, one that would hold her at her word and accountable, a friend that would point her to Christ and what I/we got were two friends. You see I don't have any pictures but this little girls momma is one of my dearest best friends. I pray everyone has a friend like her. Her heart exudes joy and servanthood. She makes me want to be better. I see so much Christ in her and that is such an encouragement in today's broken and dark world. She is able to speak truth over me in a way that is not hurtful and always encouraging. Her joy and laugh are infectious and she is simply a gift from God. Even in her darkest days of loss she constantly thinks of others. Oh, the example and legacy she spreads. Pray to God right now for a friend like her!
What better way to end a field trip then with sprinkled doughnuts!!!
