We took an adventure today. We rode the light rail, then the bus, down to the zoo. It was fun, the boys were excited to finally ride the train, and Cody talked the whole time, both ways. I was glad to save the gas money, a day pass was cheaper than driving there, although nervous about missing our stops. I get a little paranoid about things like that. But we made it, both ways, safe and sound.
The zoo was fun, we met Jen and her bunch, always nice to have company. For some reason the zoo seemed smaller this time, but it wasn't terribly busy and we just wondered around. All the kids had a great time, oohed and aahed in the appropriate places. We packed a lunch and found a nice table, the park has upgraded from older wood style picnic tables to plastic ones, very nice! Jen and her crew were hitting the done phase and headed for home.
After we finished eating we walked around some more and headed over to the amusement area. Upon arriving we decided it looked like tons of fun and rode everything within our height limit. so we rode the carousel, the boys road around in swimming fish, a ssssloooowww train ride around the park, drove model t style cars and they boys flew an airplane! They had a blast. It was Tyler's first time on rides and he laughed the whole time, not at all timid to board.
After that we went to the bus stop and waited about 10 min for it to arrive. We got to the train station about 1 min before the train arrived and we were on our way home. Before getting on the bus, I put Ty into the new Mei Tai, and it worked out great! He happily looked around while we were on the bus and walked to the train. After we boarded the train he started to cuddle, laying his head on my back, and before I knew it he was asleep. He slept until I had to take him out to put him in the car.
It was a good adventure that produced very long naps! A winner day in our book!
