Train Ride!
While we were in Wisconsin last week, my grandparents took the kids and I on a train ride! My grandpa is very interested in trains and had been showing the kids some videos of trains, so they were really excited.
We got there early and went through the train museum. I don’t think my grandpa is used to going through museums with kids. They charged right past everything, barely noticing what was in there, and left Grandpa in their dust!
Next it was time to get on the train. It was pretty hot outside, so it was hot in the train too (it was an old train….no modern furniture or air conditioning in there). Luckily all the windows were open so it was more bearable once the train started moving. Ava entertained our entire car by yelling “All aboard!” after the conductor.

I’m not sure that Kelvin even realized we were on a train. He was busy jumping back and forth from seat to seat.

Halfway into the trip, the train had to turn around so everyone got off to walk around while the engine drove around to the other side of the train. In the picture, that’s my grandpa talking to the conductor before he turned the engine around.

The ride lasted about 50 minutes, which was just about the perfect amount of time for the kids. They were ready to get off, but not crazy from being cooped up in their seats.

My baby man turned a year old yesterday!! I’m still kind of wondering how this last year flew by so fast. How is it possible that it’s been a year already since I became the Mommy to the most handsome little boy in the world? This year has been so full of love, laughing, and growing. I can’t imagine our life without him!
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
