Trains!

There was a special train in town, and we went to go for a visit.  Brandon didn’t have any idea what was in store because we wanted it to be a surprise (and we weren’t sure if we were really going to go since it was a little far for us to get there).  We got there kinda late in the day, so things were winding down.  There were still tickets left for the “train” ride.  I say this lightly, as it cost $54 for three of us (Peyton was free!), and we got about 25 minutes out of it.  It was a steam engine, which reminded us of a trip around D-land’s park.  I didn’t know how windy it would be once we started, so I told Brandon to hang onto his hat.  He took me literally, and had his hand on his hat for a good 5 minutes.  Dave felt badly for him, and told him he could take his hat off, since we happened to be in one of the two covered trains.  Peyton enjoyed her ride in my lap.  She was watching the lady next to us eat an ice cream sandwich.  The lady felt badly that she couldn’t share with her.  Peyton kept licking her lips and smacking as she watched her eat it.  It made us want one, too, but I refrained from staring and licking my lips.
As we were waiting to leave the station, we saw Tori, one of Brandon and Jesselyn’s old classmates and her parents, Joe and Vivian.  I didn’t think they saw us, but Vivian was kinda staring over at us, and when I started waving, she waved back.  We met them after the ride was over.  We talked about where the kids were in school, and they offered that the old school was good when they were babies, but not so much as they got older, which is what we’ve come to learn now, too, but it’s just funny that we’re hearing that more and more from the other families who have now moved on.  We really thought it was just our situation, but it seems like it’s not just us who is feeling this way.

This way the penile shaft have a peek at these guys buy levitra online receives adequate amount of blood is reached to the penile organs of the males. we went to explore some of the other exhibits that were there.  It was crazy with mostly little boys, dressed in their tank engine clothes, having a great time.  Brandon got a temporary tattoo, and then wanted to check out the bouncie house.  The rest of the exhibits were free with the purchase of a train ticket, so that was nice.  They had 3 houses, all broken down by age.  So Brandon went into the 2-6 house.  Luckily most of the kids were about the same size, and there were mostly boys in there.  Brandon had fun, and was mostly in control of himself.  He was giggling and bouncing all around the house, around the other kids.  He kept himself to himself (very important to us), but one dad pointed to him and said, “Man, look at this kid, he’s really having a good time.  He’s bouncing off the walls!”  I smiled proudly with a “Yep, that’s my wild and crazy son” look on my face.  I wanted to tell him that Brandon’s like that all the time, and that he’s normally bouncing off the walls, even when they aren’t nice and soft, but it wasn’t necessary.  When the timer went off, Brandon dutifully came out of the house.  Our last stop was to get an ice cream sandwich, like the lady had been eating.  It was Dave’s first time eating an It’s It.  He got a mint one and a chocolate one.  He admitted they were pretty good but not as good as the ice cream sandwiches we used to get in college.  I still think they are better than those.  Dave wasn’t truly satisfied with it because he had to share it with Brandon.  He shared the mint with Dave and after theirs was all done, he said, “I want to try yours, Mommy.”  After he took a bite of mine, he said, “I want more, I like yours better.”  Sure, kid, sure.  Dave had to chauffeur a sleeping family back home, as everyone was wiped out from the event, even though we had only spent about 2 hours there.  We’ll see if Brandon is still into trains next year to determine if we’d do it again.
