Emmanuel's Visit Day 2: Summer

Today I woke up at 8:36am.  I went out into the living room and looked around.  Emmanuel wasn't there, but when I looked outside he was sitting on the garden bench watching the birds eating from the bird feeder.  He saw me and came inside, I asked him how he slept and he said, "good the bed is very comfortable."  We ate breakfast (cereal and milk), then got dressed.  I told him that today we were going to go to my preschool (Harmony Preschool) to see all the little kids playing.  I wanted him to see all the happy kids, because I knew it would make him happy.  I got two bikes out of my garage and we road over to the preschool.  It wasn't a long ride, it only took about 20 minutes and the road was all flat.  When we got to Harmony, which was at my old teacher Gina's house she greeted us at the front gate.  I introduced her to Emmanuel, they shook hands and smiled at each other.  We went inside and took off our shoes and put them in two a free cubbies.  Only a few kids were at the preschool this early in the morning only about five or six.  We were introduced to the kids and then they took us on a tour of their school.  They showed us the main playroom, the kitchen, where they had snack time, the outdoor painting area, the cottage where they took naps in the afternoon, the playground where they played everyday, and the front yard where they did water colors and played in the sprinklers on hot days.  After the tour it was about 10:00am and more kids had arrived.  At 10:30am Emmanuel and I helped Gina prepare the snack.  She told us that she was really into keeping the children healthy by feeding them super nutritious foods.  For example the snack was sugar snap peas, butternut squash, and sliced apples.  We ate snack with the kids, then played tag with some of the older ones, and then played pirates on the pirate ship near the playground.  The kids got super into it, they dressed up and assigned characters to Emmanuel and I.  Emmanuel was a good pirate and I was a bad pirate trying to steal the magic treasure.  After we were done playing it was time for some of the kids to go home.  We said goodbye and Emmanuel hugged everyone that was going home.  After they were gone it was 1:50pm and time for the remaining kids nap.  I remember how when I was at Harmony I hated nap time, I would always stay awake with Gina and play games, and do puzzles.  While the kids were napping Emmanuel, Gina and I decided to clean up after the kids, we put away costumes, picked up forgotten toys, and did some of the dishes.  At about 3:00pm the first kids started waking up, while we were waiting for the rest of the to wake up we did some water colors.  Fifteen minutes later all the kids had woken up and the parents started to arrive.  Emmanuel and I said goodbye to all the kids and parents as they left.  After all of them were gone we thanked Gina said bye to her and rode home on our bikes.  When we got back we took showers and then went outside and sat in the shade and drank lemonade which Emmanuel loved.  When my parents got home from work they made pesto pasta, and salad.  I told Emmanuel we would be going on a hike tomorrow early in the morning and that I would wake him up on time.  We went to bed, and I replayed the day in my mind.  I had so much fun! I was very excited for tomorrow.
