Train Station

Our trip on the Subway to see the trains was probably one of the most memorable events for the little (and big) boys. It is so much fun to see the kids get excited about such simple things. It reminded me that they do not need the latest and greatest toys, but just some good quality time as a family doing simple things.

Here are Grandpa and Peter checking out the cool lawn mower while we were waiting to buy tickets.

Here are Rigby and Kristine at the entrance of the Subway.

Peter is at that age where he wants to be contrary to anything we ask of him-especially pictures.

Every Christmas they set up electric train sets in display cases. As you can tell from the look on Peter's face, this place is a little boy's dream come true.
Rachel & Rigby
Rigby liked the trains, but was more interested in running away. So, we had to either hold him or keep a very close eye on the little renegade.

Here are Kristine, Peter, Daniel, and Doug watching the real trains going by outside. This area is a major hub for many of the railroads systems.
Here is Peter bossing Daniel around. I am afraid they clashed a bit because they are both the oldest kids in their family; hopefully next time they will be able to figure out how to get along better.

Rigby has started throwing 2 year old tantrums. I would not let him run away, so he refused to walk, collapsed on the COLD cement, and started dragging himself and crawling along the ground. My sweet baby boy has attitude now-makes me a little sad. Good thing he is still cute and sweet most of the time.
Here are Stephen, Gabriel, and Fatima.

Doug took Peter up to the front of the Subway car where they peeked through the glass to see the driver. Peter became Grandpa's permanent shadow after the train station trip.
