Train Trip!

Cal and Papa took a special trip to a nearby town this weekend, for the sole purpose of taking the train. Our previous attempt at the train was a little too scary for Cal but he was younger then and is such a big boy these days that we thought it was time to try again. And, boy were we right on. He loved it! He was big into sitting in his own seat and giving the conductor his ticket and clambering on the benches in the train station waiting area.

Other passengers thought it was great and could clearly tell this necessary part of their journey was his destination. The conductor even pretended to stamp the ticket receipt and give it back to him so he could feel official and special.
To top it off, they saw a freight train pass by while they were waiting. Now that is a treat! The only difficult part was that the train ride didn't last longer. So, might be a trip to New York coming our way in the not too distant future. Who knows?
