Many of the other mothers walk to school a half a mile or more with their children. Many families share cars and the working parent gets the car. We have been driving most days, but we are only 1.1 miles from the school. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, so the boys and I walked to pick up Sierra and enjoyed a leisurely walk home. Zach and I have both probably told you that we love that there is beautiful countryside right out your back door. There is a great push to conserve natural beauty in the UK. Here are some shots from our walk home. The first place you come to when you cross the street from the school is a footpath to an open field.
Next, there is a lovely duck pond over the hill. The kids loved rolling down the big hill and feeding the ducks.
The next part of the path is all mud, bridges, wooden gates, The kids were in heaven. There were no toys involved and no electronic gadgets. It's a reminder of how engaging with nature rivaled the entertainment of something man-made.
