Walking to school (and back home)
The girls kept bugging me about letting them walk to school so finally I gave in, halfway at least. The baby and I have been walking them to school this week, and then going back up to the school in the afternoons to walk them back home.
They want to do it on their own but I just can't agree to that right now.
It's about a five block walk, but it's not straight blocks. There are lots of turns and the street at the end of our street is a busy one (with double yellow lines). There is another really busy street near the school but there is a crossing guard there, so that's nothing to worry about. They can make it on their own but it's the other people you have to worry about, along with the distance. For now I'll just walk them there and back, or at least until it gets too cold.
It takes 12-15 minutes to make the walk. It doesn't seem like it should take that long but it does. We walk at a rather quick pace in the mornings but we take our time getting home. That could take almost as long as 20 minutes! We all really enjoy it.

That's great you are getting to spend that extra time w/ the kids, and getting some exercise too! I remember when you used to carry all our bookbags on the way home from school, good memories.
i understand - Clay has started to ask if he can ride his bike. we are not ready for that either! i think our walk is about 15 mins but it is a staight path around to the school on the same street. so i guess we should give in one day soon...hahahaha. glad you are getting to do this with the girls.
