As the kids get older, I know the days of running a thousand miles per hour will come to an end. Today we experienced one of the first of the lasts though - and it hit as bitter sweet.
This morning was the very last time we'd have an elementary school class field trip. On any given day, you'd see me raise my hands in a Hallelujah and to be honest, between the four kids it feels like we've taken this same fifth grade trip to Old Winston Salem in North Carolina a hundred times. It wasn't until I saw Lauren Elizabeth walking with Adam when I realized...this was it.
Just like her brothers, middle school will be here all too soon, then high school and so on. They're all growing and it's wonderful, but it pulls my heart straight out of my chest at the same time.
For today though, she had the best time with her friends. They walked through streets blanketed in Autumn and learned from stop to stop about the Moravian community of the 1700's, even enjoying freshly made goodness from the town's bakery.
It was a beautiful day all around for a field trip we won't soon forget as the chapter of the elementary years comes to a quickly approaching end.
Now if you'll excuse me while I eat a Moravian ginger cookie. Here is the recipe. You're welcome.
