Elsa and Strawberry Fields Forever

Dear Abby,
The greatest day ever finally arrived.  Elsa was in Franklin and you, my friend, got to hang out with her.  Man alive, were you stoked.  And Ellie, and Kate, and Kipper, too.  And maybe even Mimi and Mommy.  On Saturday, we headed to the toy store where a bunch of other VERY anxious girls (and a few boys, too!) waited to meet the greatest Disney princess ever, scratch that, the greatest Disney QUEEN ever.  And boy, she did not disappoint.  She greeted everyone and even helped everyone build a snowman!  
 Then, while we waited in line to take a picture with her, we ate that snowman!
 Finally, the time had arrived and both of you were so excited you turned a little shy!
 After her meet and greet, Elsa surprised us with Let It Go!  She even let all the kiddos (and a couple of us adults) join in, too!  We had a blast meeting Elsa and can't wait to meet her sister soon!

A couple days later, we went on a field trip with your school to the local farm that I can't think of for the life of me right now!  Their little granddaughter is in Ellie's class and it's a special privilege that we even get to go!  Dang it, why can't I remember the name!! Anyway, it was a special treat and a fun time!  You go to plant your own lettuce and onion plants and even got to take them home!

And you drove a few tractors...
 And your friends did, too.
 You could not resist the urge to climb, even in a skirt...

 
 Or resist touching Kaitlyn's hair.  You find her hair fascinating and ask me all the time if I will ask her mom to let her wear it down.  Ms. Tosh said she'd be happy to show us both how to do it!
 You got on this, which I have to say, I have no idea what that is.  It's on the back of a tractor, but God only knows why you would want to ride on that BEHIND a tractor...
 You found it pretty relaxing...
 You had a ton of fun with all your classmates...

 And then it was strawberry pickin time!!!  Mr. I can't remember his name gave each of us a bucket to fill with strawberries.  You kiddos were making us all giggle because you'd put on in, then eat one, then put one in, then eat one!




Finally we had full buckets and full bellys!  And we got to take all of them home!  They were delicious later on, too!
We had a fun field trip.  It has been so fun getting to know all your friends and their mommas this school year and it's so hard to say goodbye to them.  Sniff sniff.  More on that though!
Love you strawberry queen!
