Christmas train ride

Today we decided to go on a Christmas train ride.

So we drove 15 minutes to Silverhill, Alabama.

There they have the neatest mini train that we were able to ride.

Here's Grace with her Daddy all ready to go!

And we're off!

Toot!  Toot!

We had so much fun that we decided to ride it again!  This time Grace rode with me.

David was able to take better pictures during the train ride than me - probably because he has such long arms.  I kept cutting his head off.

It was a lot of fun.

Grace would have ridden that train all day long if we let her.

We finally convinced her to take a walk and explore.

And we stumbled upon a playground!

So we went inside and played for the next hour or so.

 There were swings to play on.

Even David could play on them.

And Grace hung from these ring things while David pushed her.

And there was a big playhouse with a slide.  Grace really enjoyed it.

Peekaboo!  I see you!

There was even an airplane to play on!

Vroom!!!  Vroom!!!

Soon we were tired and hungry so we decided to go get something to eat.  As we were leaving the playground we saw the little train chug by.

Bye bye "too too tane"  (choo choo train in Toddler Talk).

We'll see you again real soon.  We really enjoyed spending the morning with you! 

The Christmas train is a tradition we plan to continue each year.  Grace has so much fun riding the trains that we can hardly wait to do it again!.
