National Walk to School Day

Yesterday was National Walk to School Day.  Well St. E's has dress uniform day/mass on Wednesday, so we observed it today.  They encouraged everyone to walk.  We live a little far to walk, but a bike ride is doable in about 20 minutes.  And the whole point is to exercise and not carpool, so we figure it's the same thing :)

Once we hit the line that crosses from Brookside to Waldo on the Trolley Trail we passed dozens of walkers.  And when we pulled up to school there was no carpool line at all.  Most kids walked.  They had lemonade, too.  Elliot said he needed a cold drink of lemonade after that fast bikeride.  Mind you he rode in the caboose eating bunny grahams the whole time :D

Me & the boys ready to ride to school

If you click, you'll see his tears.  He was upset he couldn't ride his Strider to school.

Some friends of ours up ahead on the Trolley Trail walking to school

Lemonade!

Elliot is fascinated with this turtle & goldfish in Noah's classroom.

Pretty trees starting to turn

Give them a week I'm guessing & they'll be even prettier
