Walk to school

We found out 1 month before school started that Payton was able to get into the local elementary school's pre-kindergarden program. We are so very fortunate to get in & Payton is loving it...

So the day we found out we went on a walk over to the school. There is a paved walking path that begins right by our apartment & ends at the school. Payton decided to ride her bike...
While Katie 'enjoyed' her carrier.
Can't you tell how thrilled she is? (She's a little taller now so she fits a lot better now.)

On our way we saw 1 deer in the bushes & after we got out of their way we saw there was a lot more.
This was a first encounter with deer so it was a big deal... now it's a regular occurrence so Payton doesn't get quite as excited. She is really good at spotting them now.
The whole time they were running away I just kept praying, Don't get hit by a car! There is a busy road up there & I didn't want to taint Payton's first experience with deer.
Payton rode & walked her bike home.
