First day of school Puyallup Style!




Wednesday was the first day of shool here in Puyallup. I love the kids dress code. As you can tell it is a little bit cooler here in Washington on the first day of school than it was in Georgia. Shorts and a sweatshirt is the official garb of western washington in the summer. It feels GREAT!

Here is a link of last years pictures:

Also there is no bus in the equation here. The school is in our backyard so we walk the kids to school. The kids had a good/bad first week and are still learning to adjust to their new place. They like their teachers and are working on making new friends. I think the school they are in is going to be great and they will be happy in the end.

Everyone looks well adjusted and ready to learn. Not having to ride the bus must have its pluses and having school in your back yard is pretty neat, right? And best of all, having the day to yourself, until December, must has it's advantages as well. Kids, enjoy your school and good luck making lots of new friends.
Love to all,
Grandpa

I would think an extra month of summer vacation would also be a plus. I moved many a time in my school years and the first few weeks are hard, but within a month it is almost the same. Enjoy the quite house Crystal....it wont be much longer!!!
