Our Adventure on Trax

Nathan, Josh, and Kolton have been obsessed with trains ever since we had to stop while one crossed the road the other day. So yesterday, we decided to take the babies on a ride on Trax down to Gateway to play in the water fountains. Things didn't quite go as planned. But it was still fun. Here is a picture of all of the walking kids holding hands. They thought it was really cool to hold hands and walk by themselves. They were concentraing so hard on holding hands, that I couldn't get them to look at the camera. But I still thought it was super cute! They were drifting all over the place because they couldn't look where they were going and stay holding hands. It was so funny!

Here is Jesse and me. Naiively unaware of the totally unfun adventure ahead of us. We were too busy thinking how cute and fun it was to share this train experience with the babies.

Here are the boys, patiently and excitedly waiting for the train to go. They loved the whole thing and behaved very well the whole time. They had fun. We decided that next time we are taking these three and leaving the other two home to take a nap.


You will see why.......

Here are the darling, mellow little "angels at the beginning of the ride. They seemed happy, and they seemed to be enjoying the whole experience for the first little while......

But then it got to be too much......
Sometimes life is hard when you're a toddler without a nap. This is what Hallie and Micah looked like the whole way back, and while we missed the train during its 30-second stop, and had to take the next one 30 minutes later. We couldn't even get a picture of Micah like this because my mom wouldn't have been able to snap one. All in all, it was fun. But it will be much more fun next time when we take the older boys. Hallie and Micah will stay home and enjoy a nap. Enough said.
