Choo Choo!


Jax and Camren's Aunt B and Tia came to visit last weekend and we thought we would take them to all of our favorite spots! First on the list? The zoo of course! I have to admit that we are spoiled by Justin's work schedule and very rarely are we out with the "general public" on a weekend...too many people for us! It turned out to be a lucky thing we did 'cause the StoryLand Train was up and running for the weekenders! Jax spotted that train before any of us did and he let us know with a very excited "Choo CHOO!" After a quick check on timing and prices it was decided...1 child-4 adults please!

Bundled up waiting for the train...
sooo very excited
He was rattling this gate trying to get in. He wanted on NOW!
Jaxon picked the very front of the train to sit in and the Conductor had him push the button (a bolt) to start the train!
The ride wasn't long in adult time, but for Jax it was the BEST ride ever. He sat totally still, gripping onto the hand rails and uttering whispered choo choo's. We taught him to raise his arms and scream through the tunnels-not sure if he was scared or excited for this part! When the ride was over, Jax hopped out and sauntered off confidently...well...as confidently as an almost 2 year old, diaper wearing kiddo can! It was a great intro to his current favorite vehicle and makes me excited for warm weather and a trip to the Big trains in Spring!
