When the sun comes out these days it is a moment to be celebrated and to get outside. Corin and I have started running to the school in the afternoon to meet the kids and walk home. He puts on his Spiderman coat and helmet and rides his "Spiderman motorcycle" while I run.
It is on mile of uphill to get to the school and I have to push his bike on the steepest climbs. It ends up being a great little workout for me.
Ruby tags along and we rarely meet a car.
The whole way Corin is in his imaginary superhero world and I love to be a part of that. Great big make believe comes so easily to children.
When we get to the school the kids aren't always happy to find out that we have to walk home. Suddenly their backpacks weigh 200lbs and coats are to hard to carry. On Tuesday the boys were on the playground and the girls were at the library.
The library is only open for several hours, three days per week, so we stopped in for fresh books.
Today at school the boys got pedometers to track how many steps they take per day. Apparently children should take 12,000 steps per day. They were happy to be walking home today!
There is a beautiful tree and garden at the end of our driveway.
Almost home and Spiderman finds downhills more challenging and scary then uphill.
