About 2 months ago, just a couple days before we moved from Walla Walla, we took our little family on a bus ride. We had always wanted to go because Walla Walla has the cutest little trolley cars that they use for buses, and Myles was always so excited when he saw one.
So we walked to the bus stop and waited for a few minutes. The bus came and Myles was so excited to actually board the bus. Then we sat down and told him we were riding the bus to Main Street so we could go to the candy store. He was very happy with that idea.
The bus started moving and we asked him if he wanted to look out the window. He jumped up onto my lap and turned around to face out the window. I will never forget the look of complete satisfaction and excitement that came over his face. He seemed very pleased to be on the bus and to see that it was moving down the road. I'm sure being out of his car seat was a big plus too. He pointed at a big, red barn out the window and said, "Oh it's Pig's house." (Pig from Word World.)
We went to the candy store and for once that was not the highlight of our trip to Main Street, it was most definitely the bus ride. I'm so glad we squeezed that ride into the last couple days of being there. It's such a great memory! I wish we had pictures, but of course our camera battery was dead. Darn!
