Mollie's first field trip

With all the rain we have had, First Kids Day Out (the MDO that I run and that the little girls attend) had to cancel our field trip scheduled for Oct. 22. We were headed to Belgian Meadow Farms to feed the animals, take a carriage ride and get a pumpkin. Very long story very short, we took the kids last Thursday. Let's just say I was a little less than excited about going because I really did not have the time to be out of the office. However, we went and I am so thankful that we did. It was such a wonderful time!

The kids got to feed the horses and the goats before heading to the pumpkin patch. They had a grand time take a ride in the carriage. We also had a snack of goldfish, fruit snacks and apple juice. Yummy! ha! Best of all, Mollie had a grand time. It was fun to get to focus on her for a little while. I got tickled at the moms on our little trip. Several of them told me that they were so thankful for the field trip - it was just what they needed. See, God knew what they needed and it wasn't about me and what I needed to do. Life's better when we focus on others. I'm thankful for the reminder.

Anderson's mom Kellie and I got so tickled watching the kids. Somebody said something about giving the other one a kiss which they do quite often. Mollie was all about it!
