Railroad Festival

At Carillon Historic Park, there was a railroad festival one weekend.  Caleb know what trains are, "choo choo."  There were a lot of model trains, a "Thomas train" that he could conduct and a miniature train ride.

We don't think Caleb understood that he was "controlling" the train at all, but he sure did LOVE pushing all of the buttons!  Go figure, right.  Anyone who has met Caleb knows he loves buttons and electronics!


Caleb got a cute paper train conductor hat and posed for me-he loves saying "cheese" and posing for pictures!

It was my turn to go on a fun ride with Caleb, so there we are chugging along.  It was about a 15 minute ride which was cool.  I was nervous about staying still and centered though.  My instructions before the ride was to stay in the center because it is all about balance-"oh great, I am thinking, lets put some toddlers on a train and tell them its all about balance."  But, Caleb and the other kiddos behind us did well.  Caleb stayed in the same position the whole time!  He just got a little antsy in the last 5 minutes or so.
