two hundred and eighteen

Just Esme and I took a bike ride out to the playground at the airport today.

Esme is that kind of kid who finds and makes friends almost everywhere we go. She befriends older kids, younger kids, kids she’s met before, kids she’s never met before, adults of every flavor, and especially dogs! She just has that sort of personality.

It means that sometimes, just sometimes, I get to sit on the park bench, drink my water and enjoy a little time to myself. Today I was kicking myself for not bringing a book. She hopped off the bike, and moments later had a new bff and they were off playing. We could have been there hours if our schedule had allowed.

After a sweet, sad goodbye between new friends we pedaled back home.
