FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
(Friday, November 12, 2010)
Mom might look harassed but she is PSYCHED to be packing those school lunches!

There they go!
Lawnton State School.
In uniform and proud.

Just a quick walk to school.

On the way to school through the suburbs of Lawnton.

I don't think they'll leave us alone until you wave too Ryan!
