My little engineer!!!!


Logan and I did not take a big vacation this summer, instead we did what has become quite the popular trend with the economy being in the toilet and all...we had a bunch of staycations! As you can tell by past postings, we've had plenty of adventures this summer, all within our local area and none of them costing an arm and a leg. Well, today we went on what was maybe the best adventure yet. About thirty miles from our house is an old train station and every summer they have train rides available. You get to ride the old deisel engine, take a trip in an old passanger car, get your ticket punched, have hot chocolate, snacks, and pump an old hand car. For an almost 4 year old little boy, it doesn't get much better. And to top it all off, we were lucky enough to go with our dear friends Jonathan, Kara, Pierce, and Sam. It was a terrific couple of hours and the setting couldn't be beat, especially because it was a bit cloudy and rainy on this day which just added to the old locomotive and hot chocolate feel. Life is very good!
