Choo, Choo!

Monday, the boys and I packed up and headed to Clarksdale. Lala planned a day for us to ride in a locomotive around town. We met Lala and Tom at 10, then went and met the train. The Engineer was very nice and showed the boys some really neat stuff. After our train ride, we enjoyed a delicious lunch.

Lala, Chase, Reed, and Mommy on the train.

Chase was very jealous. If Reed was sitting in Lala's lap, then Chase had to sit in her lap. Her arms were full just about the whole time.

Chase telling Lala all about it.

Of course, Chase had to go exploring to see what all he could get into.

Chase was after Lala's earrings.

Reed listening to the Engineer talk about all the switches.

A few close-ups...

Reed loves to hold Chase's hand. If Chase starts crying in the car, Reed will say "Chase, give me your hand!" Does it get any sweeter than that?

Lala showing the boys all of the cars that the train was pulling. At one point, I think he said there were 70 cars. Of course, Chase tried to open the door.

Getting another look at all of the cars.

Chase liked looking out of the windows.

Sweet boy!

Back at home...he's such a mess!
