Chugga, Chugga, Choo-Choo

For those of you who do not have little boys you can't fully appreciate their fascination with trains. They love them, everything about them. They love the speed, the noise, the movement, the horns, the bells, the tracks, everything. Collin is no different.
We are very fortunate to have a train museum in Wilmington. As we embarked this morning with some friends to see the train museum I was a little nervous. It's one of those places that you know could be overrun with older folks who don't appreciate a child's energy. My fears were quickly assuaged when we got there.

It's kid friendly! There was even a play-room just for children. There was a model train that the boys could control, a wooden caboose in which they could play and toy trains galore. Then, there was an entire room of model trains set up for the boys to watch. It was wonderful. Collin and his friend had no interest in the museum part, but were quite excited when they realize there were also "real" trains on which they could play.






So, we ended our outing playing on the real trains. The boys were happy and tired as we headed to lunch. It was a good day.
