Sweet Life with Mary

I was told that the public school bus do not pick up from our neighborhood because it is walking distance from the school. Not that it mattered much to us because we still have to have Mary at daycare as both Jack and I work full-time. Daycare takes care of taking her to and from kindergarten in THEIR school bus.

I love walking and if I were to picture my ideal day, it would include walking Mary to school, weather permitting, of course. Fall is upon us and these autumn days are my favorites, especially here in Colorado, sunny, dry and cool. Just perfect.

These last couple of days I had been forced to stay home. (Ok, I had been let go from my job and now, I'm looking for a better one. More on that later....) Since I have nowhere I need to be at a certain time, why not go for it? Walk Mary to school?

So, off we went. Actually, it was more scootering for Mary and jogging along side for me.

Here she is heading off from the house.


Crossing the street, neighborhood is totally safe, wide sidewalks and not much traffic.


Halfway, the sweater comes off. We are getting quite a workout.


We can see the school now....


Made it...


We took our time, took us about half an hour getting there but we stopped a lot. It was pretty much uphill all the way, Mary was a little tired but she enjoyed it. I did, too, especially the scooter ride back- it was all downhill for me...
