"Walk Your Child to School" Day

Well, I don't know for sure that this has anything to do with "Teapot Festival" week, but on Wednesdays of that week each year, the kids' school holds a "Walk Your Child to School" Day. Today was the day. The walk starts out at City Hall where you get a ticket for a drawing, and ends up at their school where you drop off your ticket and hope for the $50 Savings Bond. So far, we haven't won it - this year was no different. :( The City Hall is just down the street from us - the OPPOSITE direction from the school - so we actually do a walk and a half, I guess. We had planned to leave the house around 7:15 in order to make it in plenty of time. Well, at 7:05, it was raining!! We gathered the umbrellas and decided to go anyway. Luckily, about 5 minutes later, the sun came out, and we were on our way. We took the umbrellas with us just in case - you know how it goes.....if we hadn't have had them, it would have poured on us!!! It was lots of fun, and of course, a great photo op!!!!

You are funny. The kids wear polos (several diff. colors) and khaki, navy, or black pants, skirts, or shorts. They just happened to have on the same color everything today! Makes picking out clothes a lot easier!!!
