The wheels on the bus

One sometimes forgets that life's mundane things that we, as adults, take for granted as normal, are actually new adventures for toddlers. Our friend Sara helps us remember that by occasionally scheduling playdates that are odd for adults, but superfun for kids.

Case in point-We took a bus ride yesterday! Yes, three of us mommies took our toddlers and DROVE to a designated spot, where we hopped a city bus and took a bus ride. It was an hour long and we probably went a grand total of 2 or 3 miles, but it was a BLAST. The kids had so much fun experiencing something new.

I, as and adult, was again reminded that life from a toddler's perspective is so much brighter, clearer and fun.

The Bus

First minute on the bus. Fun, new and exciting!

 Hanging with her bestie, Gabby (we had another friend with us, but I didn't get permission to post her photos yet, so I didn't)

 The coolest "toy" of the trip? A set of firetruck underpants that we picked up for Gabby on a recent shopping trip. The kids were enthralled by them

 Another example of adult vs toddler perspective: The bus was insanely hot and stuffy. As adults, we were all hot and fighting off the urge to be irritable. The kids looked at it as an opportunity to do a wardrobe change. :)

 

After the bus ride, we went to lunch, where Ava made sure to give lots of love and thank yous to our friends Sara  and Gabriel for instigating the playdate.
