Today we went to the Snoqualmie Train Depot to ride a train and celebrate Griffin's 2nd birthday! We brought along Pax; Grandpa Joe, Grandma Kathy, and cousin Makenna met us there. Even though it's two weeks before his birthday, it's the last weekend of regular runs until Spring so we decided to do it anyway. And we are SO glad we did! It was a mostly cloudy and COLD but dry day. Not crowded at all so the kids were able to roam, climb, bounce, and really enjoy the day. We had so, so, so much fun and can't wait to head back in the spring!
Griffin squealed, "Train TRACKS!"
All bundled up...it was COLD!
Our conductor? Or engineer? I'm not sure what you call them:)
So excited!
All three kids!
Cousins
Getting ready to roll!
Ryan and the boys.
Not sure what to think...we're moving now.
Grandma and the little lady.
Daddy and son.
Train crossing. And our whistle blower:)
So serious! Taking it all in.
It was not crowded and so nice to be able to spread out and enjoy!
Crossing the river.
We made it to North Bend...picking up more passengers!
Jumping on the seat:) Not sure if we're supposed to do that but they had SO much fun!
Pax and Griffin chasing each other around while the train was stopped. Do you think he's having fun yet?
Totally didn't care that he was in the middle of strangers. Just wanted to climb on the little ledge that was there.
Just chillin' like a villan!
So happy!
So much to see...
There was so much giggling! What a perfect day!
I LOVE that you can tell Griffin is smiling from the side:) Love his dimples!!
Crossing the river again, the view out the other side.
Sitting on Grandpa Joe's lap.
Even cousin Makenna had a blast!
At the Falls...they're doing some major construction!
The kids were amazed by the water and falls.
Our view from the end of the line.
More jumping! This is what happens when the train stops moving:)
WOW!! The train whistle really made him happy this time...not sure what was so special about this particular sounding.
Watching all the other old train cars as we pass.
This lip thing is new...what he does when he's thinking or being shy.
All done!
Time for LUNCH!
Did I mention it was SO COLD!
Playing inside a train engine.
Griffin's turn!
Standing on the front of the engine!
Notice how dirty Griff is? He found the mud puddles:)
We tried for a Christmas card photo...but the little guy was done!
Limp baby! Just try to hold onto me!
Walking on the tracks...giggling and squealing! So much fun!
Hey Griff! This way!
The kid LOVES to run!
The station/depot at Snoqualime.
What a fabulous day!
Our little puddle stomper headed home...in dry clean clothes.
Aren't the SO cute!!
I wish this one hadn't turned out blurry! You just tell they are having so much fun together.
And this is what happened when we dropped Pax off.
We miss living with Pax (and Jessica) too Pumpkin Pie.
That's better! Watching video from the day.
