ah... summer's endthe first day of school
today was day two of back to school
yesterday was day one
day one back to school is a big day
a big day for the kids and a big day for the parents
it was Grant's first day of first grade... a big step
it was Dean's first day of fourth grade... a big step
they are all big steps
Lisa took the day off from work to take the boys to schoolI went along on drop off with the gang
we drove with the bikes and parked a few blocks away
the boys carried the energy of the day
riding the bikes home from school was the cherry on top
it was an exciting day with an exciting adventure attached to it
the route was pretty standardas well was the discussion
six year old Grant can object to most anything presented
Grant was not excited about the route Dean selected
so... we morphed their desired routes
this made things a tad longer... but this calmed the beasts
on day two we drove
we drove there and we drove home
I figured the boys would want to approach the bike back from school routine slowly
Dean wanted to ride and I was right about Grant not wanting to ride
so... when I picked up the boys today I had a bag with a snack... a football... a frisbee... and bocchi ball
we played bocchi ball with some other kids from school
