Day One - Waving goodbye on the first day of school

The high school bus route now goes down our street! Dale and I enjoyed standing on the front porch and waving at our son as the bus went by this morning. No better way to make your teenage son smile on his first day of school, right?

    You have made the news down here in Australia!

    What an awesome idea you had mate, well done. I love all the photos and I bet that your son did too. (Though he probably won't admit it).

    I hope you do another 170 days.

    All the best

    I looked at every single photo and they are all great. I doubt he'll need therapy (your donation fund). I bet he has a wonderful sense of humor and will make some of the same great memories with his children!

    Thank You!

    These were AWESOME. The photos are freaking hilarious and the comments are fantastic too! We're sharing this all over FB and have submitted this blog to Tots & Giggles (hope they pick it up!). And we are complete costume and Halloween nuts at this house too; we do a haunted asylum ever year for the neighborhood. Let me know if you ever need help coming up with any costume ideas, it's my specialty! Best of everything to you and your family!! <3

    This just proves that event the smallest things you do for your kids count and that being a dad is an everyday job and not the first and last day of school task.
    Great Job Dad (and mom for taking the pics)!

    You've got my vote as World's Coolest Dad! How long did it take Rain to get over the "teenager" embarrassment?
    I'll bet that before long EVERYONE on that bus was looking forward to see what you'd come up with and every kid secretly wishing he/she had a Dad like you!
