Guest guest Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 That is so awesome Lori and what a gorgeous day for the ride!! Happy Birthday to ! H. Riding the trolley Today we celebrated 's birthday by hiring one of the smaller Naperville rolleys for an hour ride around the Riverwalk and downtown. She was nervous at irst, very stimmie, but then partway through she just started smiling...and oh oy was it a great smile! She invited about 15 of the folks from her Ray raham day program to come along, too, and I'm not sure what they liked the est, the ride or the choice of small water bottles or Diet Cokes (I think it as the Cokes, they were a huge hit). But for my girl it was the ride that made er happy and for that I am very very grateful tonight. We stopped near one of the Riverwalk fountains, everyone got out and we took ictures. Two ladies, I'm guessing in their 60's, stopped to watch our group nd at first I thought 'oh no, one of them is gonna give us a look that will poil this moment'. But I was wrong, they both smiled & then walked up to the river, inquired about her prices, and took a brochure. I heard one of them say o the other 'I'm telling Joe this is what I want on MY next birthday!'. Today was a GOOD day. aurie ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
