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