We had such a fun adventure today as a family! We drove to a nearby train station and boarded the train. The boys were both very excited. We sat on the top (as that is where Daddy sits when he rides the train daily...). We went about 4 stops - both boys really excited the whole way! They kept looking around the train...then back outside. At one point, a freight train passed us going the opposite direction. Logan's eyes were nearly cross he was trying to look at it all!
After 4 stops we hopped off and walked a half a block to 2Toots. It is a cute little restaurant where your food is delivered via a little train. Our friends Kathy, Drent, Maddie and baby Emma met us there. The kids were so excited to be together and eat together. We had a nice lunch....a little distracted by all the train action, but they did very well.
We said good-bye to our friends and saw a bunch of police cars zooming around downtown, just up a block. We walked over and saw even more police, firetrucks and an ambulance. Then we noticed smoke about 2 blocks up just billowing. I pray for the family whose house or business caught on fire. That being said, it was very cool for Logan to see the firemen in action. We saw a couple of them wait for the call for a back-up truck and you can tell as soon as they got it. They all quickly grabbed their gear, ran to the truck and sped outta there.
We walked around a bit more waiting for our train. Carter was so super tired, so John and I took turns carrying him...which did I forget to mention it was 90 degrees with a heat index around 98? Yeah, next time we attempt a cool adventure like this....we should pick a cool day. :)
The train ride home was just as exciting and the boys were conked out within minutes of being in the car. It was a very fun family day.
