Trains, Trains, Trains!!!

Our neighbor was so nice. Her family had tons and tons of trains, and her boys are getting older and don't play with them anymore. So, she asked if we wanted to have them. She has been trying to give them away, but didn't know anybody who had a young boy. I said sure. I didn't know what she had or how many. But we were excited! We went over there and there were tons and tons of trains, tracks, and play things everywhere. She said she loved it probably more than her boys did. So, she had bought just about everything related to Thomas. It was so nice of her.


Peyton and Kylie already love playing with them. We set up a little city, and all we hear is, "Choo, Choo! Chugga chugga choo choo!" The kids will play for hours up there. It is great, too, because now we have some more boy stuff, rather than just princesses and barbies. It'll be great for the next little boy, and we will use this for years and years. It's great to know there are people out there still generous and willing to share!

Kauai seriously was so amazing! 3 days was definitely not long enough and I was so not ready to come back here. Now I only have a few more days before I move home for good. I am getting real depressed thinking about having to move back to the real world. Congrats on having another boy! I am so excited for you guys!

That is so nice of her. That is quite the little town you have set up there. I remember playing trains at your house when we were younger. That will be something that they can play with for such a long time.

Sound familiar...One of the ladies that Jordan works with gave us all of their Thomas tracks and trains too! Her son had out grown them so she gave them to Jaden. Quality tracks too, try buying those at the store and they're $10 a train!! And oh yes, those hours of endless entertainment!!

Hey, how close do you live to the airport? I'm sure it probably won't work but I have a 2 1/2 hour layover there on Saturday and was just wondering if you live close enough that I could see you. Let me know.

I'm there from 11:15-1:44. If it is a hassle at all don't worry about it, I just thought it would be fun to see you.

Wow! You are so lucky! Those are the best little train sets. I"ve wanted those for Tyler for a long time! I love those kind of constructive toys where the kids can build them and rebuild them again and again in different ways and can use their creativity! How fun!

I feel so bad about yesterday. I would have loved to have seen you but I didn't have my cell phone. This is probably the dumbest thing I have ever done but I flushed my phone down the toilet at the beach last week. I haven't had a phone all week and didn't have your number so I had no way to get ahold of you. I guess I will just have to take a trip to Vegas now :) Well, sorry again, I didn't get your message until after I was home and called my phone from my home phone.
