Walk evidence

Friday was the first day my daughters walked to school by themselves. Today, at their insistence, I brought out the camera and big zoom lens to document the walk:

You can see that I can watch them (and they me) almost the whole way—their school is just behind the blue house at the top of the hill, before the trees in behind that. They ask me to wear my bright orange Gore-Tex jacket so they can look back and see me easily. There's a crossing guard at the major street just before I lose sight of them. So they like it, and I like it. Big steps.

Those two have some pretty funky fashion looks going too. That's their mom's influence.
