Chase and Owen have been obsessed with trains-specifically Thomas the Train for a couple years now. They've been acquiring new trains for their birthday and other special events and have quite the fleet. They just love their trains and love to watch Thomas and Friends on TV.
There is a train in Excelsior that I've been wanting to ride for a couple years now. Yesterday was the perfect day! It wasn't too hot so we headed out after naps. The boys were so excited to ride a train and squealed with glee when it started to go. They had been asking if it would go fast, and I didn't think so. When it started to go (slowly, I thought) they yelled, "It's going fast!" Yipeeee.

We passed a group of teens walking to the beach and Chase yelled, "Beep
beep!" and they waved and laughed. The boys hung out the window (as far
as I would let them) and smiled with pure delight and laughed. The old
men who ran the train were charming and eager to please the boys. They
let them step on the bell ringer and were so patient. It was a great
short ride that we loved!

Chase-the train was built in the early 1900's I believe.
