Channeling Mr. Rogers' "Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood"

This will be a longer post than needed to get to the point, but I'm going to do it anyway.  We thought we'd be gone about 2 hours start to finish to IKEA.  Wow -- be glad for IKEA in Draper!  We left at 11:30 and returned at 5:00.  Jeff & Shay had found some stuff they wanted to buy so Jeff made this quick trip to go pick it up.  IKEA is located in a huge shopping mall --it's like going to the old ZCMI Center (only much much larger) parking underground-hoping you are somewhere in the vicinity,  standing on a moving ramp that slowly moves you from the underground parking to the floors above.
There is a reason that it is a ramp instead of an escalator--I'll explain later.  I guess Jeff was in the mood to shop and to accessorize so we walked the entire store. By shop I mean making sure he had seen everything the first time they were there and made the correct decisions.  By accessorize I mean figuring out what to put on the shelves that were just purchased and in the huge vases as well.  Then the lines to check out and arrange for delivery....took forever.  We had a shopping cart of goods to take home and 2 carts worth of goods that were going to be delivered.  We and our shopping cart went to the ramp to begin our journey down, down, down and what was so interesting as we moved our cart onto the ramp we soon learned that it was magnetized and completely held the cart.
Well as it turns out they would only deliver on Sunday and only between 8-1:00...Jeff asked if it could be later. (so we could go to church, but no can do-so darn we had to go to the park after they delivered)  It was such a gorgeous day and a beautiful park in downtown Roma.  We found some fun play grounds for Noah to explore, there was music (acoustic guitar, accordion, sax-guitar-bongoes, people on roller blades doing amazing things, many forms of transportation for rent to explore this huge park.  So we rented a self-propelled-4 wheeled, bike.  Noah and I sat while Jeff pedaled--it was quite nice
