Sunrise
Some early morning time for Emma and David
Emma opened her eyes when she heard the front door shut. She scrambled out of bed and ran to her window and watched her daddy and Willow walking towards the barn. Her daddy always woke up early to feed the animals. The sun wasn't even up yet, but her daddy was. Emma was never up this early before, and she decided she wanted to go with him today. Emma walked down the stairs. She made sure to be very quiet. She put on her jacket and her hat. Then, she went onto the porch where her barn boots were waiting. She put them on and ran to the barn after her daddy.
Willow spotted Emma first. She ran right up to her and gave her some good morning kisses.
David smiled when he saw Emma. "Hey, what are you doing up?"
Emma shrugged. "I don't know, Daddy. My eyes were open, and I was awake. Can I help you?"
"Well, I'm glad you're here, princess. Of course you can help."
Emma followed her daddy into the barn and knew exactly what she needed to do. She has helped feed the animals in the evenings before. She got the horses some fresh hay, filled up the water buckets, and gave the chickens some feed. Then they herded the sheep outside with Willow. Willow was good at herding the sheep now. She was a very fast learner.
"What do we do now, Daddy?"
"Now, we go sit on the porch swing and watch the sunrise." David scooped Emma up into his arms and walked back towards the house.
"Wow, I've never seen a sunrise before."
"You're going to love it."
Emma sat on the swing with her daddy and snuggled in close to him. She watched as the sun began to peeked up from behind the hills. She was amazed all the pretty colors. The sky was beautiful. Emma decided that she was going to wake up every morning so she could watch the sunrise with her daddy.
