First Field Trip

 Amelia had been very excited for her class field trip since she first learned there would be one.  So, back in August.  The day finally arrived and thankfully, Aunt Jen watched Elise so that I could just spend some time with Amelia.  Here she is when we arrived to meet her class at the Rutledge Wilson Farm Park.

This sweet face just sums her up.  So much passion and zest and zeal and emotion.  We were to meet at the playground and it was MAYHEM.  There were three buses there and about a zillion kids with far too few teachers.  Amelia was panic-stricken.  She was so upset that there were big kids on all the equipment and so many wild people everywhere that she just began to cry.  I know she had pictured her own tiny class playing together and she was so sad when the idea in her head didn't play out  (the same thing her mother still does).  That lasted about 15 minutes and then we moved on.  Literally, moved to a different area to start touring the farm.  And the fit was over and the smile was back on.  Whew.

By far her favorite "farm animal" was this barn cat.  She followed it everywhere.  Just like her Aunt Steph.

The whole gang

Wheeee

I am so thankful the day turned out to be great and that I was able to go on her first field trip with her.  I am cherishing these moments where she wants me close by for every single thing!  Then we took lunch to Jen and Leese and had a lot of fun playing there too.  Successful day.
