Zachary's 4th Birthday

Over the Memeorial Day weekend we had the pleasure of having our Grandson Zachary stay overnight with us (him alone) to celebrate his fourth birthday. I had read on line that the train museum was going to fire up their steam locomotive on Saturday, so we figured that would be a fun place for us to take him. He even got to sit inside one of the old engines that they have on display there.



Here is a picture of the old locomotive coming into the yard to pick up the passengers.
You can tell from Zach's face that he is a little leary of this whole experience. He didn't like how loud the train whistle was or the loud hissing of the steam.
We took a second ride and he was feeling better about things.



Here are Gpa and Zach hanging out in front of the train. Also a picture of the train as it goes around the loop. If you can see inside this engine, there is a little head peeking out.








This is the same engine with Gpa helping Zach ring the bell. We had a great time together. Happy Birthday, Zach!
