The City Bus

Every day a school bus drives by our house. This is very important to Avery to watch and then one day she asked if she could ride on the bus. After explaining that she was too little to ride the school but she was a little disappointed...until I then told her she was big enough to ride on the city bus. After that conversation EVERY time we saw a city bus she wanted to ride on it. We finally made a day trip one Sunday to ride the city bus. She was soooo excited, as was Ethan. (He went through this stage too when he was about her age.) We enjoyed being out and about together seeing Seattle from a bus. We also noticed that we could ride a train, a horse drawn carriage, a monorail, and..and...and...the list could go on forever. I don't think we will run out of things to see or experience for awhile.Waiting patiently for the bus.

The end destination did not matter, today was all about riding the bus. For me, that is a fun way to travel. Go where the wind blows...that is my kind of day.

We got to lay down in the bus, that was quite amazing for Avery.

I am still not sure why kids don't need car seats for the bus. It feels so not right, but the kids sure do enjoy the freedom.
