Field Trip

On Thursday afternoon, Colton says to me "Mama don't you wish that we could fast forward to tomorrow so you and me can go on my field trip." I love that he wants me to go with him and is excited to have me there. Anyway, yesterday was so much fun! It was Colton's last field trip in second grade. It was to Aquarena Springs. The kids had a blast. We got a detailed tour through the aquarium, took a ride in a glass bottom boat and the kids did a science experiment with the pond water. Then we had a picnic lunch and they headed back to school. I love being able to be everywhere Colton wants me to be. I really love that he still grabbed my hand as we walked along and hugged me randomly throughout the day. He is not "too old" for that yet---thank the Lord!! Here are lots of pictures from our fun day!
