I am always looking for new and interesting things to do and have been wanting to take Jensen to ride the Edmond Trolley "the Edy" for a long time. We had a beautiful 70 degree day one Thursday so after I picked Jensen up from school we met some friends and went for a ride. Since we had never done anything like this, we had to prepare a lot before hand and figure out what route we wanted to take etc. I was very anxious about catching it at the right time and didn't know what to expect. We drove to a trolley stop and got on with a group of rude teenagers. Then the driver was a seriously crotchity rude old man. I think the kids enjoyed the ride though and we got off near UCO and walked to a nearby park. The plan was to stay about an hour then get back on the trolley. Well, Mr Jensen had a nasty fall and gashed open his chin pretty good. I felt helpless all of sudden because I didn't have anything with me or my car to take him home. Luckily Jen had some wipes and a bandaid but I was really afraid it would need stitches because it looked awful. We decided to take the earlier trolley so we hurried to the trolley stop and it was already there so we almost missed it. Jensen was quiet and still all the way back so I know he must have been in pain. I was so thankful Jeff was home when I got there because he looked at it and decided he didn't need to go to the Dr. Despite the injury it was fun and an interesting experience!
