Jeff and I are always trying to find new stuff to do with the babies. Ok - side note interruption - I just cannot call them babies anymore since they are almost three. Calling them kids just sounds weird and I never wanted to lump them together in the twins category, but it looks like that is what I am going to do for lack of a better name for them. So anyway, we are always looking for new things for the twins to do. I recently found a train about an hour away that takes you on a 45 minute ride through the desert. Not so pretty, kind of boring, but of course the twins had a blast. Well, not the twins, Heaten had a blast.
Shenzie started off the trip scared and crying, but eventually warmed up [a bit].
Get ready for picture overload.
Since the train ride Heaten has carried his little bronze train EVERYWHERE we go. He loves it. He asks everyday to look at the “old train with the nose” (the middle picture below).
He tells me about the old trains and new trains and how they go Chooo Chooo. Shenzie doesn’t talk about it much at all, poor little girl. For Christmas I want to get them some sort of a train track/hot wheels track/some kind of track - any suggestions?

Love the picture of the two of them on the train! I have to say that Will and Alex have had the Thomas wooden sets for about a year and are just starting to really get into it. I think they are great and pretty easy for them to use on their own. The only problem is they are kind of pricey. We do not have any sort of train table…the floor works out for us just fine. You should ask for some sets for their b-day.
