All Aboard The Choo Choo Train






A few weeks ago Emily called to invite Cole and I on a train ride!!! A real live train at that...not a toy or small little train but a real train! How could we say no to that? We were so excited to wake up this past Thursday and head to the Springdale train station to board the choo choo. It was kid's day so the train was filled with children of all ages. We rode for about 2 hours and the boys loved it!!! I was so shocked that Cole sat in his seat the whole ride unless he was in my lap or cuddled up with Miss Em. He took "the rules" very seriously. Emily was well prepared for the day and treated the boys to Thomas the Train juice boxes, Thomas suckers and Thomas Pez candy...all things that they rarely get. The boys loved looking out the windows at all of the sites we rode past and really loved hearing the whistle (while inside the train...when we were outside neither boy liked the whistle at all). It was a great morning...filled with fun for the boys and 2 hours of talking and catching up for Emily and I.
