A Little Adventure

 

Happy Belated Earth Day! (I meant to post this that day)

Derek found out the public bus system was going to be free to ride on Earth Day. So Cassidy and I decided to take the bus for a ride! The bus stop is right behind our house. Every day Cassidy is able to watch the "city bus" (what she calls it) drive by and pick people up, and now it's her chance to actually take a turn. As we were waiting for the bus Cassidy was just playing around in the dirt but as soon as I pointed out the bus coming around the corner, she jumped up and down and screamed. She kept saying "Come, City Bus, Come!" (With her hand stretched out) She was so excited! It's wonderful how excited our kids get over such little things. During the ride, Cassidy had a lot of fun looking out the big windows as we drove around.

We got off near the shopping center where the IMAX theater is. I know some of you are thinking that's not very far, but it was still an experience. We first went to Dicks sporting store and spent most of our time playing with the sports equipment, sitting in camping tents, riding bikes, going up and down the escalator, and checking out the gym equipment. In the picture above where Cassidy is sitting on the weight set, she's holding her arms up and saying "muscles!" with her deep voice. Just like her daddy taught her. It's one of our favorite stores. Then, we walked around the other stores near by like Best Buy and Wild Oats. While we were getting some fresh air and some exercise walking around we decided we were getting hungry so we had lunch at Leo's Pizzaria. It was delicious! Cassidy enjoyed the cheesy pizza and it hit the spot. After lunch, it was time to trek back to the bus stop. We didn't have to wait too long. Again, the bus ride was a hit and Cassidy couldn't contain her excitement. We had such a fun time together and we will never forget our magical ride with our "city bus."
