Yesterday Cooper and I drove out to my hometown (sort of) of Wayzata, MN to ride the Wayzata trolley and hang out with Grammie.
We got to the Wayzata Train Depot a little early, but the view was fantastic (Lake Minnetonka) and the gardens were a beautiful place for Cooper to run wild and tear stuff up tiptoe through the tulips.
After a half an hour, Coops heard the trolley coming and excitedly ran to where we would board….and then got enveloped in a cloud of black smoke. Turns out the Wayzata trolley was having rough times and they had to shut ‘er down.
Not exactly what a 2 1/2 year old wants to hear at that moment. So we took some posed pics anyway and bribed him with a trip to McDonald’s for a happy meal, a blue cupcake from Auntie Sue and a quick visit with his cousin Sarah. Hey…whatever works, right?

Ryan: “Is that me mommy?”
Me: “No honey, it’s Buddha.”
Ryan: “Are you sure mommy?”
And the obsession continues…
Bummer about the trolley, it looks like Coops had fun all the same. I love that picture of him running up the path, adorable!
You are just one of those people who will make the best of ANY situation. I like that about you.
