Choo Choo!

Today we went to the Casey Jones Museum in an effort to get out of the house but also stay out of this heat! Just after we arrived, our friends and neighbors just happened to show up too! Barnes got to see his friends Isabelle and Annette and their new baby brother William. (Mom, Elle just had baby last Thursday!! Needless to say I'm impressed!) Don't look for that to happen at the Perry house this fall when our baby comes.

Barnes has been talking obsessively about Choo Choo's since the weekend when we found a Thomas the Train DVD in the sale bin at Wal-Mart. He loves trains. Anytime we see a train he gets so excited.

He had a blast at the Museum. Most of the museum is very historical and not something he had much interest in, but they have a big locomotive in the back that the kids can actually ring the bell on, There's also a little house that shows how people lived in the early 1900's. It was all very fun and a change of our daily pace.

The inside of the museum has a gift shop with a play area for kids that includes two train tables and TONS of train memorabilia you can purchase. Barnes played for almost an hour at the train table and had so much fun pushing the little trains on the wooden tracks.

As soon as Daddy got home tonight Barnes couldn't wait to tell him about the Choo Choo! He got so excited telling him about it all. He even said he rang the bell.

Even though it was 103 degrees (actual temperature!) here in Jackson today, we beat the heat and had fun playing Choo Choo!

Barnes ringing the bell! Thanks to Belle and Annette's daddy for helping him.
