Walking on the leafy side

Today was Walk to School USA Day.
We always, well nearly always walk to school.
But today there was a whole passel of kids walking to school in a sort of walking school bus and my son had to join the crowd. They walked down the opposite side of the street we usually take.
My son dubbed it "The Leafy Side" of the street. Bouncing, pleading, loving "Mom, mom, mom can we PLEASE always walk down the leafy side of the street?!?!?!"
He's so my kid - I love fall. He loves fall. Those beautiful rusty looking leaves are impossible to resist, wading through, kicking them up, listening to their crunch, wanting to hunker down, scoop up a handful and sniff deeply. Mmmmmmm.
yeah, ok, so its nigh impossible to cross our main street at my corner but for my kid we'll play the Frogger game every a.m.
