Unloading kids

First bus was empty and about to leave.

The experience is the best help to do something. So all parents know that when the school principal tells us to do one thing, we must follow the instructions: when the bus comes, first unload all backpacks, make a human chain and drop them next to the school's wall. And no kid is unloaded from the bus until that happens, that we know too.

The main building of the school is in a very busy street, and a big one, so a bus can be stopped for a little while without trouble, other buses and cars can go by without a problem.

That's the most expected moment, kids being unloaded. One by one, handed to the father, mother, grandmother or grandfather. Sometimes the father/mother/family member have a problem to reach the bus, cause all the excited parents, instead of waiting at a distance to help the process, we all just rush and stand in the middle. It's quite a chaotic moment, but everybody is smiling and having a good time.

The good thing of a small school is that after 2-3 years everybody knows and respects everybody, and at these moments we just feel like we are part of a big chaotic family.

Kids were happy, muddy, dirty, happy, happy and tired... and probably a bit sad about going back to normal life...
