The Wheels on the Bus

This bus is the coolest ride ever!

Whoa, wait a second...is this thing moving???

Get me off this contraption!

After the finalization hearing on Friday, we went out to the Mall of America. We thought it might be fun to bring the kids to Camp Snoopy for a little celebration and then be able to have a nice supper out. Ella was so excited once she saw all the rides and Ben was excited once he saw all the little kids everywhere. Ella spotted the bus ride and started singing "the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round". Both Jason and I asked her if she wanted to go ride on the bus and she decided yes. We bought the tickets and since I get sick on anything that moves, Daddy was the lucky one who got to ride along with her. They stood in line and Ella was all smiles. Daddy crawled into the bus and put Ella beside him. So far, so good. She was smiling thinking this ride was great. Then the man pushed the "go" button and it started to move. Her face immediately fell and I knew what was coming next. Tears and screaming. She was NOT happy about this idea and she wanted off. Now! She held onto Daddy with all of her might as she sat there crying and shaking. Poor little one. Those rides are always so short unless of course your baby girl is petrified...then they feel like they last a lifetime. I'm thinking it might be awhile until she decides Camp Snoopy is actually fun.
