We Rode a Train

So, the Great turned two. I'm pretty sure I should have devoted an entire blog post to this major life event. I need one of those shirts that says I'm an Okay Mom.



Of course we went to a train museum and took a train ride. And then ate hot dogs. And cake and ice cream.

 



Also. I need to know what shoes people wear for Fall and Winter. I've been wearing Chaco sandals for about nine years, year round - with running shorts, jeans, and sun dresses. In my fashion worldview, Chacos go with everything. Tonight at church my toes were turning purple during listening about the Christian Women's Job Corps, and I thought that it might be a good idea to find some closed toed shoes. I finally now understand why my favorite Auburn friend from Florida, Miss JS, walked around Auburn in 30 degree weather in flip flops her first year.

  


Thomas the Train came with us on the train ride. As did Grandpa and Gran, or Breat Branny (Great Granny) as the Great calls Gran. The train took us to a little pumpkin patch and the kids each chose a pumpkin. Our two year old thought that the pumpkins were there for a Pumpkin Throwing Contest.


  

And then we went to the beach. I mean the Gulf. The beach on the gulf.
The spoiled rotten angel children got to spend the weekend playing on the beach with both sets of grandparents. They were fed ice cream for snack, given legos by Auntie L, and allowed to stay up late. We also now own one million sea shell pieces.

Yoga, for the boy who loves the sand.
