bicyclebabe: I appreciate the thought. And I had seriously given it thought before school started, but...considering my daughters personality, her long day (due to a bus shortage Kindergartners go all day - 6.5 hours), and PNW rain (often sideways) I don't think it is do-able at this time. I will revisit the idea again next spring, after she has built up some stamina and hopefully the weather is more cooperative.
