Riding the Bus

We went on an adventure today.  One of Sophia's first words was "bus" and she always gets excited when she sees one . . . and calls every large vehicle a bus (Amelia did the same thing) . . . so I figured it was about time I took the girls on another bus adventure.  While we were waiting for the bus, Amelia kept telling me she wanted to go to the bus stop.  I guess standing by a bus sign wasn't what she had in mind ;)

Sophia was a little scared to ride on the bus at first.  When she finally let go of me and sat next to Amelia, this is what she looked like.  Amelia had no fear.  She would have stood up on the seat if I had let her.

Amelia told me that the bus was "wiggly" . . . I'm sure it's an adventure in itself to ride somewhere out of the carseat.  Sophia finally relaxed and then she wanted to look outside the window too.  But since I made her stay on her knees, I don't think she could see much more than the clouds and tops of trees.

From the transit center, we walked to the library, and since we got there a bit before it opened, we stopped to play with the "bears".

 And eat snacks at the picnic table.

The girls don't look very happy here - on our way home - but maybe it's because Amelia told me she wanted to ride the bus more and was sad that I told her we were riding it home.  Sophia has finally figured out how to wear her sunglasses the right way - doesn't she look so cute?

Amelia was happy when the people across from us got off the bus so that she could switch seats and hold onto the pole.  It's the simple things, right?

All in all, a successful bus trip . . . the girl's saved their melt-downs for our walk back to our house ;)  But even that resulted in 2 girls taking a nap, which meant I got a nap, so all's well that ends well ;)
