Walking Home

Abigail walks home from school with two of her closest friends that live on the same blocks as us. This picture was taken the first week of school while the weather was still warm and nice.

(Linsey, Alyssa, and Abigail)

Summer certainly has come to an end. Today I dropped off Abigail at her bus stop as I was heading out to run errands. She had a hooded jacket on and an umbrella in her backpack. As she was waiting for the bus she decided she didn’t want to carry around the umbrella so we put it in the car. I figured she still had her jacket in case it was raining on her way home.



This is Abigail just after she arrived home… drenched. The first thing I asked was where her jacket was, she replied it was in her backpack and proceeded to tell me how everything went wrong. None of the girls had an umbrella and Linsey’s jacket didn’t have a hood. Why didn’t Abigail put her jacket on? She explained, “my jacket would been soaken wet when I got home.” Abigail warmed up with a quick shower and a yummy cup of hot chocolate… That will teach her to put her jacket on next time :)

Kids are so funny. Abigail must really like that jacket to keep it tucked away in her backpack rather than risk getting it wet. I think today was the one day in the last 2 weeks Linsey didn't have her umbrella... and the zipper to her backpack broke at school so all her stuff was soaked. What a day.

A little rain never hurts, right? I love that the girls have each other to walk with. It's so fun for them and makes it easier on us.
