M&H Railroad

Last Saturday I took Noah for a surprise, he had no idea where we were going. Actually he thought we were going to buy something for him, but we weren't! I planned to take him for a ride on the M&H railroad Saturday morning! He likes trains, and well anything that goes! The last train ride he was on was last September when we went to Day out with Thomas, which was a wash out....literally! This is so close to home that I can't see not taking him once in a while on it!

Going to the potty on the train!

Every time the whistle blows! 

From the September flood....condemned.

so sleepy on the way back

Grammy got him a "Goat truck" almost just like Poppy's at the Train station gift shop!

He was a perfect angel at the station, waiting for the "All aboard!" from the conductor and on the whole ride! I could hardly believe it myself! He even went pee on the potty on the train! That was pretty cool! He covered his ears every time the whistle blew, and was just about asleep by the time we got back to the station! He had a awesome time!
The tracks got washed out closer towards the end from the September flood, so we couldn't go the whole way like before.  It was still 1 1/2 hour train ride though.  It's a shame to have gone through driving and seen the destruction from the flood then going on the train ride you seen more homes that are condemned and are just basically sitting there.  It's a real shame.

I'm not sure but there was a man that rode the train at the same time that had a long beard and the lady with him said something about Santa Claus, and we told Noah he was one of Santa's spy's so I don't know if that's why he was so good on the train or not but hey whatever works right?!
Then since Noah was such a good boy on the train ride his Grammy bought him a Goat truck (dodge truck) that's silver and almost exactly like his Poppy's in the station gift shop! He adores this truck and has been sleeping with it ever since! 

It was a pretty good weekend once again!  I can't complain!  This weekend we are heading up to camp!


Monday Noah was a complete pickle to say the least so we stayed home, tonight Mom went to visit my sister and Parker so I made dinner did laundry and then Noah said he wanted to go to bed at 8pm and I ended up falling asleep with him!  I woke back up at 11, folded wash and here I am.  Now I am hoping to get back to bed!  I'm hoping to make it to the Fuzzy Few Thursday!  We'll see!

Knoebels

Sunday Grammy, Poppy, Noah and Mommy went to Knoebels!  This was Noah's very first trip there!  Aunt Joann, Tony, Val, Sue, and Antonio also came along.  Noah and Antonio had a BLAST riding all the rides!  It was a beautiful day to go, and that park is so nice, with so much shade to!  It was a great day!  The kids rode some rides, then we had some lunch, then rode some more rides.  We walked through the museum there, and Antonio panned for some gems, while everyone else took a break!  Then we got some french fries and a soda and headed out around supper time!  I really had a great day!  A second best weekend I have had in a while and I couldn't be happier to see my little man having so much fun! 

You ask him what his favorite ride was, he says Big green tractor!

They loved it!

waiting for Ol' Smokey

Dad on Ol' Smokey

Vall wanted to take Antonio, Tony wanted to take him to....



So I said Tony take Noah and you both can be happy!



making me sick!  I thought they were suppose to be slow and steady?!

touching the Ice pole!

Fishin' for Frogs won him a Turtle container and a motorcycle!

Val was a good sport and took Noah on this fast, spinning rocket ride!  I would have so gotten sick!

I only had two incidents of Noah being umm 2 1/2 and not listening!  One of which was when we first got there, and were getting out of the car and getting unpacked and ready to go into the park.  He started running, and it scared me because we were in the parking lot, it was just about opening time, we were in the Handicapped spaces because my Aunt rode with us, so it was busy and I started running, and tripped landed on my face (not literally) and so today I feel like I have been beat up!  It stopped him in his tracks though, and the other time was when we stopped to eat lunch.  I think that him being in daycare makes him not afraid of strangers because of seeing so many different teachers and parents coming in and out.  I don't know.  But we are going to start cracking down now!

I had so much fun and can't wait to go back!  The park is so nice!  We had a blast even my Dad I think had fun!
