Cora started school on Tuesday, and Stace took Monday off to hang out together as a family. We went to see the Jungle Cruise at our new Laemmle theater in Newhall - my new all-time favorite theater! Small, comfortable, clean, affordable. There weren't many in since it was early on a weekday, and everyone wore masks.
The movie was a fun watch, too.
After, we went to Big 5 to get Cora a new backpack and double-walled water bottle to keep her drinks cold. She didn't want to get any new clothing or shoes - my little minimalist - so a backpack was a natural purchase.
The big day arrived! First day of high school for our Cora Rose. Very hard to believe, yet here we are.
Cora went to school in her Critical Role hoodie, one of her favorite articles of clothing, and a gift from her dear friend Violet. The hat is her souvenir from Disney World, and it's from Pirates of the Caribbean.
The traffic was awful - stop and go for blocks. Cora hopped out and walked when we reached the park two blocks away.
By afternoon when I picked her up, the sweatshirt was off. Cora was upbeat - her day wasn't as awful as she'd feared, and she'd found her friends and they ate lunch together in a shaded grassy area. She has three academic classes - AP Environmental Science, Honors English and Algebra - along with P.E., Show Choir and Theater III, the class which will produce the fall musical.
High school is one of periods of life we all look back on - memorable for many reasons, positive and negative. May you make many more positive memories than negative, my dear Cora!
