This is the a continuation of my blog series dedicated to taking the time to stop and see the amazing things that go on around us, this time it is children.
I have always found children fascinating to listen to and to watch. I love the honesty, the curiosity, the imagination, the laughter and the trust. Going through our photo collection the other day, I came across many pictures of children, that made me remember other times, situations or made me chuckle. Here are a few that I think are worth sharing.
The Dreamer When my niece was 5 years old we had a family gathering in Tennessee. While everyone else went hiking, I took her and her older sister & friend, to Dollywood (yep, the home of Dolly Parton). After riding the 'big people' rides, I asked Trestin if she'd like to go to the 'younger kids' section. Off we went to the carousel, where she carefully eyed all of the horses, elephants & assorted creatures going round and round. She picked a beautiful blue dragon to ride. As I stood beside her, she looked at me with these huge eyes and declared in a very serious voice "I have dreamed of riding a dragon my whole life". At five, her life was now complete.
