As we did last year, the parents met the bus with silly string, water ballooons and super soakers to celebrate the beginning of summer. Today, the weather vacillated between thunderstorms and heavy clouds, and I made the executive decision that we should probably hold off on the water until they went for it. I didn’t want them to get cold and upset because we were too excited.
Of course, I shouldn’t have worried. We could hear the cries of “water balloooooooons” coming from the bus before it got to the stop sign. All the kids on the bus were excited.
