Yesterday was one of those days that was fun enough, that I'll overlook how much I hurt and how irritated I was by the end.
The Sheets family invited Alida and I to join them at the Discovery Gateway yesterday while Brian went to see a movie. The Sheets have a year pass for up to 6 people to get in. I am so glad. We'd NEVER go if it weren't for that pass. I mean, it's fun for the kids and all, but it is NOT worth the price of admission. We can go to the zoo for the price they're asking. But, I digress.
The kids had a blast. They got to play with balls and in a house "supermarket" and a "farm" and in the water. They got to play in a life flight helicopter and on a KSL 5 news set. They got to play with science concepts like tornadoes and earthquakes.
It was a jam packed couple of hours. I can honestly say I have never been so grateful for elevators!
When we were done playing, it was time for Alida and I to pick up Anthony from work. We walked back to the car, I put Alida in her seat and I loaded the stroller into the car. When I tried to shut the tailgate, however, it wouldn't close. I tried and tried, but it would not work. The rubber covering over the locking mechanism had shredded and would not allow it to move like it needed to in order to close.
I got out Anthony's pliers but that only led to me pinching my fingers and cussing (oops). Eventually, I was, however, able to remove enough of the shredded rubber to get the tailgate to close. 15 minutes later (and more than 30 minutes late) we arrived at Anthony's work to get him.
After we got home, Anthony took a look at the mechanism and naturally, he said he couldn't see anything wrong. It was working *fine* for him. (Grumble *expletive* grumble)
I'm glad we went, but I'm also glad the day is over and done with. *sigh*
