Choo Choo

Well if you don't know Ryan's new obsession is Choo Choo Trains. He absolutely loves them. We have a big track and lots of trains to play with and he would watch Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends nonstop if we'd let him. If he spies anything that looks like a train he hollers CHOO CHOO as loud as he can.

I was tipped off that a fun place to bring kids on a nice day was English Landing Park in parkville. They also have a retaurant that is actually inside an old train car. The entire park is alongside some busy tracks so I thought it would be perfect for Ryan. He hadn't actually seen a train since he was little so off we went.

First we ate at Tommy T's. A nice little burger and dog spot with icecream and a great view of the train tracks.
We heard the very first whistle of a train in the distance and Ryan chimed right in, "Choo Choo!"
We played for hours. They have 2 great playgrounds right next to each other. One for toddlers and one for kids a bit older. Ryan climbed all over both and ran around in the dirt and leaves.
Finally Jessi fought through traffic and came to hang out with us after work. It was getting pretty windy so we left after 4 hours of fun at the park. Yay for nice days!
