Bus adventure

Our car has been broken down, so yesterday we decided to take the bus to the store to get a few groceries. It was certainly an adventure, trying the bus for the first time with 2 kids. Eloise was so happy that she got to sit on my lap the whole time. She may never (want to) ride in her car seat again. And Fina was hilarious, she insisted on standing up in front of her seat most of the way instead of sitting down. It took 2 and a half hours including shopping time, so it kind of turns a shopping trip into an all afternoon excursion, but it is nice that the city has the bus service so that people with no cars have the option. On the way home the bus stopped at target and Fi was pretty mad that we weren't going to get off and go shopping at target. It is her favorite store. Maybe next we'll take the bus to target. The cutest was when we were on the bus with windows in the top, going down a tree lined street so Eloise was sitting with her head flipped up so she could watch the trees go by out the top window. This morning when she woke up she was laying in her bed saying "Dada? Dada?" but I couldn't wake John up enough to convince him that she wanted him. She totally did though, she probably wasn't just practicing her new word.
