2 Years, 11 Months, and 2 Weeks

Ruby & Charlotte are 2 years, 11 months, and 2 weeks old today. We had another fun filled weekend, with attending their pre-preschool orientation and going to the Illinois Railway Museum for A Day Out with Thomas. Enjoy the photos!

Looking out at the river next to their preschool:

The best set of facial expressions I could get while standing next to Thomas the Train:

Charlotte & Bob during the train ride:
It seems that Uncle Trevor may be right about the geologist careers, as they were more excited about seeing all the rocks & sticks on the track next to us than being on a train ride:

We then took them over to a large field in between some of the tracks to let them run about:

Ruby was fascinated with all the dandelions she found:

Charlotte found joy in picking up clumps of dried-out cut grass and throwing them:

Stopping at a fire hydrant to splash a bit:

At home, they played guitar with Grandpa Jay:

Beautiful pics.

Well, at least Bob was happy standing next to Thomas the Train.

The "Thomas" train was here this spring but we missed it. I know my kids would have loved it. Looks like you guys had a great time too. :)
