National Train Day

May 7 was National Train Day.  So of course we spent it at the train station.  They had Rail Runner cars and engines you could tour as well as Amtrak cars.  We toured sleeping cars and found where we would sleep if we ever (not likely to happen) took a train to Disneyland.  They had lots of coloring books, and other kid activities that Logan enjoyed.  Here's a few pictures of National Train Day. 

Dan and Logan checking out the Rail Runner engine. 

 Sitting on the Rail Runner...ready to go!  Logan made his Amtrak hat at the Amtrak table.

Logan has 4 days of school (or 2 weeks) left and then he's out for the summer.  It will be a busy 2 weeks. 



Fun at the Park

With the weather in the 80's here and NOT windy for once, we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and head to the park.  We packed a picnic lunch and spent the morning there.  After getting a tire fixed on the car it should be a quiet weekend.  I'm not expecting much for Mother's Day, (we did go to the St. James Tea Room last weekend) especially after my conversation with Logan today:

Logan says to me "I'm working on a special Mother's Day gift. You want to know who it's for?"

So I say, "Who?"

Logan replies "DADDY!!"

Here's the park pictures from today.

Easter

We had a great Easter.  Logan had a good time and Megan enjoyed her first Easter as much as a 6 month old can I suppose.  Here they are on Easter morning before church.  

We spent Good Friday dying Easter Eggs and at church for a Good Friday Kids Activity Day.  Logan made lots of crafts and had a good time.

We put out Easter baskets the night before Easter, Logan helped with Megan's. 

The Easter Bunny came and left lots of loot! 

Ready for church!

After the service at church, there was an Easter Egg hunt in the garden complete with candy prizes!

Later was dinner and we used some of our Easter eggs for decoration, dinosaurs and scuba divers!

6 months

There's been lots going on here.  Easter, Megan turning 6 months and more.  Since the weather has been nice (except for today) we've been trying to play outside which doesn't leave much time to do things inside. 



 This is Megan on her 6 month birthday.  Her 6 month checkup got postponed, but we did weigh her at home and she's about 17 pounds.  She's sitting up unsupported, is very strong and loves to laugh and play, mostly with her brother. 

 She had her first taste of solid foods, she was very disappointed to only get rice cereal.  She knows there's much better stuff out there.  I'm not even sure she swallowed any. 

 This picture was taken when we took the rice cereal away! 

A few days later when she tried some avocado, well that went over much better!  She was so happy and just couldn't get it fast enough.  She's also had apples, which went ok, she didn't love them.  This week she'll try bananas. 

Logan has 4 weeks left of school then it's summer vacation.  We're sure the next month will keep us busy with lots of end of the school year activities.
