"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."

--Thomas S. Monson, 2009

Edmonton High Level Street Car

My family loves to ride the Edmonton High Level Streetcar. We also call it the trolley car. We try to do it almost every summer. The girls love it so much. When we went up to Edmonton the other week, we took a ride on the trolley. We invited Izzy's best friend from Kindergarten to come along.

They have a trolley from Japan, Australia, and Germany, and take turns running each one. This year the Japan one was in operation. Here we all are after the ride in front of it:
Every time we rode we tried to take photos. Here are some photos from the very first time we ever rode it. It was in 2003 and Izzy was about 4 months old:


This one was not on the trolley, but before we left for it. I just had to throw it in there because she was so cute.


Here we are a couple of years later in 2005 in front of the trolley from Germany. Lily was about 4 months old and Izzy was about 2 years.





Here we are in 2006:





In 2007, Chloe was about 6 months. This trolley was from Australia:

Here are some photos of the trolley ride this year:


Beautiful views:



This was in the tunnel. I love Lily's face in the background, and the size of Isabelle's eyes:


The tracks over the High Level Bridge:


All the little girls:




She loved hanging from those things:
