Ellie's first field trip

I was lucky enough to be able to chaperone Ellie's first field trip. It was to Gavers pumpkin farm. I had a small group, just Ellie and Lilly. It was a fun filled and chilly fall day. The girls had a blast! 

When the buses arrived, the kids were so excited to see their parents, Ellie too. She ran over to me holding Lilly's hand. They were "partners" per the teacher. Poor Lilly looks up and says, "I don't have a mommy here today with big eyes. ". I told her that's okay because you're with me today. She smiled. She is a sweet girl. 

We first road our to the fields and got pumpkins. The girls were quick to find pumpkins. All the kids were full of energy. It was so cute. After pumpkins we had a few hours to play. And play they did. We caught up with Ellie's best friends Ashley and Leah. Apparently they are nicknamed the three musketeers. 

We had a great day, up until it was time for the kids to go back to school and me to leave. Ellie teared up and the tears were quick to come. I felt so was for her and tried to be extra positive for her and tell her I'd see her real soon. It sort of worked, but not really. As I waved to her on the bus, the tears came again. It broke my heart. But I smiled and told her I loved her and walked away. She was fine. I love that little sensitive girl.
