(in fact many of our children arrive barefoot) and i find sneakers the worst of all to wrestle back on to hot sweaty little feet. We are very fortunate that our yard backs onto a school oval (About 1 and 1/2 football fields) with no roads to cross, it is our safest meeting place for our fire drills (Funny now i think about it the 3 times we have had to really evacuate it was to get away from the oval - a bush fire where we were smoked out, an unwelcome snake and an unexploded world war 2 bomb that some kids at the school dug up) We prefere that children do not climb in sandles, they are not allowed to climb in thongs (flip flops?) and its just too hot here for shoes and socks for most of the year.
