| Trains are serious business |
Matthew, Jacob and I had the pleasure of going to a (free!) train display this afternoon. The boys worked hard to complete all of their chores so we could go. And I think they were SO glad that they earned their reward! The display was at a local (luxury) retirement community and was completely set up by and taken care of by some of the residents there. (Like I said, luxury. How many retirement centers have you been to where there is a huge train room with a separate control room? Pretty cool.)
It was a pretty amazing set up, and the elder train enthusiasts were so happy to see the young train enthusiasts (translation: Jacob and Matthew) eagerly watching the trains circling the tracks, entering and exiting tunnels, and blowing their whistles.
These two funny, sweet boys have been talking about those trains all night long and can't wait to go see them again! I think I scored some points in the cool mom department today! And I had a ton of fun doing it, too!
Choo Choo!

I'm pretty sure you get "Mother of the Year" award. I love Matthew's face! I can just imagine how excited they were.
My boys would have freaking flip out over that train display! Lucky Matthew and Jacob!
I have always loved trains. When we lived in Blackfoot, Idaho we lived through the pasture and across the highway from some train tracks. When trains went by, it rattled the windows and sounded like a jet airplane was landing in the house. We would count the cars and pretend we were traveling with the train to exautic destinations! Fascinating trains!
Forget my kids. I want to visit the Train rooms.
Kim, I will always remember your boys as train fanatics! These pictures are priceless, I love the excitement on their faces, they'll always remember that day:)
Great post, I just love your visuals and the pictures too!
