watch out, the Walking School bus is coming. This is an activity that the boys look forward to with the start of each new school year.
You wait on a street corner in your neighbor & the Walking School bus makes its way through the neighborhood to pick you up. It was quite a sight to see 95 percent of the student body walking to school.
It is a great event that encourages the children & parents to get out & walk to school. It provides good exercise & reduces pollution. Once we made it to the school grounds, their was a light breakfast(bagels, fruit, fruit leathers,waters) & a fun little pep rally for the kids. My boys sure don't need the encouragement in the exercise department. They love riding their bikes to & from school & continue to run circles around us. I, on the other hand need all of the encouragement I can get. The Walking school bus renewed my desire to get out there & walk. Come Monday morning, Brody & I will be out & about, soaking up the sunshine & getting our exercise in. Honk if you see us or better yet, come join us!

You go girl! Walk while this weather is so beautiful! This is why we live in CA right?
My kids love Walk to School day too!
What a cool idea...I love it! It would be very difficult for our community to pull off an event like that...we would have to walk MILES to get to school-LOL!
I loved walking the kids to school. And I would love to join you on your walks!
