EscalatADVENTURE!
Just another example of the many sizes and shapes that adventures can come in!
Earlier this summer on one of our cleveland adventures, evan and i like to ride the train! we would go to the brookpark park and ride and take the RTA downtown. the cheapest entertainment for $3.75 you can have! ride the train downtown to tower city and explore the parks and public fountains downtown! all of those books in the library! ride a bus, take a train, walk down to the science center and take the blue line back to the red line and back to brookpark park and ride! well, the one time we went to the airport where the redline terminates and this opened up a whole new world of adventures! everywhere we went downtown, there were up and down escalators... but evan was thrilled with the sideways escalators! who ever knew! and of course papa has to teach the boys that sometimes it's okay to do things differently and expand the box that they live in! (as long as nobody gets hurt or in danger!)
i mean, if no one else is coming, why can't you go the "wrong" way on the belt? or sideways even! Life has too many useless rules as it is!
this adventure has become a 24/7 opportunity now! a trip to grandma/papa's house now must include an adventure to the escaltors! and now we have figured out that you can park at the airport for $3.00 for 1 hour ride the escalators and elevators (LL)and in general make nuisances of ourselves. we even know where the quickest restrooms to get to are at!
so far, evan, isaiah, and grady have made the trip!(literally! coming off of the moving belt!)
Grady's first experience was funny! that first step off of the edge onto the moving belt is one of trust! and the feeling of moving while your little legs are not does take some getting used to! but, he did it!
Now we have to get him used to not stopping at the end of the belt! especially with papa bearing down right behind him!!!!!
