Unable to resist his urge to peer over the overpass, point and say, "car", Brenna made the final pass:
And like nothing short of a rock star, Brenna gave it her all until the end:
Although it wasn't technically the end - we still had a little longer until we returned to the park - but in the life of a toddler, the end is when you feel like being done. It's where you sit down.
