Railroad Park

We took a little ride down to Railroad Park last week. We were there until it was time for nap! I got 2 miles of walking done, we had a picnic, and the boys played and played! Here's a look at our fun day out at Railroad Park!

Railroad Park

It's definitely been a while since we have ventured out to the Railroad Park. The last time we went I was pregnant with Alex (and didn't even know it was Alex)! The reason why is that there was some moron out to ruin things and Caroline and I quit going - it was an armed robbery. In the daylight. At a park. In the middle of the city.

No thanks.

Well, it has been almost 2 years and nothing has happened since. Security is very much in place there. And with Alex being a baby last summer, it wasn't ideal to go out by myself and risk anything.

But, of course, when you have 2 toddlers that want to pitch a fit over who had what color train and when, you change your mind about these things. ;)

So off we went to the Railroad Park and I am so happy we went! It made his day with the engineer waved to us!

Having lunch while watching trains go by is the best!

 

 

Oh my gosh! Can I just say - it is so exciting to me that they can play on the seesaw together now! It is so cute!!

A Giant Bowl and a Straw

I think that is an intriguing title, don't you? So what is this all about? Well, guess where we went today! THE RAILROAD PARK! Ha, big surprise I know. :) But this time Andrew played in the big bowls. At least that is what we are calling them. My friend Caroline took some pics for me. Jasper was fast asleep after our walk so hopefully he will get to try this out next time we go. Andrew loved it! And, hey! You can see my baby bump!! (click on the pics to make them larger) I will have a better pic of that sometime this week - promise!

And, now for the straw - Andrew decided that he wanted the juice box. Andrew decided he was going to drink what was in the juice box. Andrew is DRINKING OUT OF THE JUICE BOX VIA A STRAW! This was the first time EVER! It was so exciting!!! He was so excited about it. He laughed when it first happened. I was so proud that I almost forgot to take this pic. Seriously. That would have been bad! He is such a big kid in this picture. He's got his lunchable and his juice box. Slow down, buddy!

Andrew and Jasper - such cuties!! 



New Obsession

Other than House Hunters on HGTV...

The Railroad Park!!!! Today We met up with Caroline and her little boy Jasper (he just turned 1, too!) to walk (whew 2 miles and we didn't even know it ;) ) and play. It was a fantastic day! The sun was hiding due to the rain that is supposed to be here at some point and the weather was nice with a cool breeze. Perfect!

Getting a little tired at the end as you can see :) NAP TIME!!

Railroad Park

Ok, I think this may be my new favorite place! The Railroad Park!! How cool is this?! There are paths everywhere, trees, grass, birds, streams, ponds, a playground, a cafe, TRAINS - and it is all in one place in our city. And it is GORGEOUS! Andrew loved it! He likes being outside anyway, but the fact that there were trains all over pulling cars and tanks and whatnot was a huge plus for him. He pointed to them and "jumped" when he saw them. He was super excited! We walked for quite a while before heading to the playground. Once he was done playing, he walked over to the stroller and tried to climb inside. Cutiepants! Obviously, it was time for lunch. So, we head down a few more paths and sat with some trees by a little stream (it actually holds storm water and recycles it within the park). It was a fantastic day at a fantastic park. I'm thinking this may become our new place during the week :)
