Railroad Days by Denny Lynn

We love the train museum! Last Saturday was Railroad Days and we got to go! We put on our Thomas apparel and headed out!

For the special event they moved the train table outside to play. We got there early and had it all to ourselves!!

Inside we got to see all the neat historical stuff. John really liked the traffic light.

We learned about Morse Code and I tapped out a "D" for Denny!

It was very exciting when a real train came by and we all got to watch from the back patio. It was so close it made our hair blow.

And it was really loud!

We posed in the family photo - Mama thought this was a little girl and little boy, but we set her straight. John was the Grandma and I was the Grandpa.

They had all the model trains out and going with great scenery that included cars, trucks and all kinds of animals! There was even a little carnival.

A very nice lady was doing face painting, and though it said only cabooses, she made me a Thomas train.

John got a yellow caboose on his leg - he is too wired to have someone paint on his face! But he sat really still for his leg painting.

One thing that was different this time was that we could go in the fence by the old caboose. It is usually locked up, but we got up real close!

We also played beanbag toss - I am a champion tosser!

We learned about safety and got new coloring books, along with these fun conducter hats.

When it was time to go we had to head to WalMart for some shopping - Mama took us to the McDonalds in the store for a special treat lunch! Hamburgers and chicken nuggets and don't forget the fries! What a fun day!
