Back to the old routine, well almost, the boys have half days this week as the teachers are doing one-to-one assessments in the afternoon. David & Evan have to be at their elementary school for 7:45am, so we walked as it's not too hot in the early morning. Alice decided to take the school bus, which leaves the corner of our street at 8am. The school bus drives up our street to pick up the elementary kids, it loops back to Rockenbaugh, then comes back to collect the intermediate and middle school kids.

| At 7:30am we're up, dressed and ready. |
The walk to school was very pleasant, a mixture of walkers, cyclists, car drop-offs and kids on the bus. Everyone was very friendly, saying hello and good morning. I took the boys into their classroom, where Evan was given a very warm reception by his teacher.

| They are ready to Rock! |

| In they go... |

| Evans teacher, Mrs Clardy. |
On my walk back, I wave to Alice as she goes past on her bus, and she sent me a selfie. I am immensely proud of the way she has taken this in her stride, catching
the bus all by herself, it's a big step to a big new school in a foreign
country where she doesn't know anyone. That's my girl!

| There she goes. |

So the end of first day verdicts were:
Evan - "It was OK."
David - "It was awesome!"
Alice - "Good but tiring."
