That is funny to write (...type?) but actually a true statement for many years to come. Or that can change tomorrow. The reality is, as much as my kids think a school bus is the coolest thing on the planet...they don't get to ride one! I remember it was like MURDER to "have to" ride the bus when i was a kid. All the cool kids had their parents drive them to school. Not us, we had to get up 20 minutes early to stand in the freezing morning air to ride a bus that made what felt like 10,000 stops at the time just to get to school 5 minutes before it started! Waaaah!
But my kiddos go to a tiny private Christian school and there is no bus for them...it's mom who has to drag herself out of bed, get all presentable and not only take them - but walk them into school each day (rules are rules...). They watch the public school bus drive right down our street and if they actually were lucky enough to ride it - it actually stops right at the end of our driveway. They actually get excited to see it drive by each day. =(
But there is a silver lining to this sad tale. Their VERY OWN Auntie Darla drives one of these babies - for REAL!!! So while we are on vacation, she let us tag along back to the depot and actually see it close up, sit in the seats, etc. They were in HEAVEN!
Looking angelic and oh so excited to be on a REAL school bus!
Wow! This bus is REALLY big and has lots of rows of seats, how many kids fit on one of these?!
Even a mom can enjoy sitting in the back of the bus if it gives her kids so much joy!
