What a Weekend

Yesterday, we took Jaydon and Kaitlyn on the train for the first time. We told Jaydon we were going to the shops and when we got to the train station, he said this is not the forum. I asked him where we were and then with total excitement "We are at the train station." Everyone that we walked by to get on the train knew it was our first time on the train. Jaydon was beside himself. The trip went so quickly as there was so much for Jaydon to look at and he asked so many questions. Then when we got to the city he was on a different level of excitement. He was in the city for the first time (well the first time that he could remember.) He can always see the tall buildings from the freeway, but now he was amongst them.

When we got there, we met up with mum and danae and the first place that we went to was to show Jaydon Uncle Marks building. We got all the usual 4 year old questions "why is the building so tall .....etc" The rest of the day we just went through the shops, bought a few things, went up and down a couple of thousand escalators and then went to the food court for lunch. Then the train trip home. Jaydon enjoyed it again and counted all the stops on the way home. When we got to the mandurah train station and got off Jaydon asked if we could do it again. He was disappointed so in his disappointment he asked if we could go on the bus. "I've never been on the bus before." I don't think so. Mum and dad needed to go home for a sleep. It was really nice to listen to Jaydon talking about his day to tigger when he went to bed.

Today we went for a bike ride. We rode to the foreshore so that Jaydon could have a play at the playground. The ride their went really well. I am so unfit. Kaitlyn loved the ride. She was giggling quite a bit when we were going down hill. SO was I. No pedalling involved. The markets were on today, which we didn't know about, so there were people everywhere. We parked the bikes and Jaydon went for a play. He had a ball. We then went and bought some lunch and rode to the unit to eat our lunch and go for a swim. We were so hot. The kids had a good splash but the water was freezing. Then for the ride home. That giggle on the way turned into a near cry on the way home in the up hill leg of the trip. My legs were so sore I had to get off the bike and walk it. I was going faster walking than riding my bike. Just as we were about home, Kaitlyn fell asleep. Straight to bed for her and a rest for the rest of us. Another enjoyable day.
