I WISH this is what it looked like this year! But no, everything is still snowless. Global warming?! (This picture is from 2010.)

Fun With Trains

Two of my friends, A and S, came over today. We had a great time playing together, because one of the only things we did was play with toy trains! By the end of our playdate we had constructed 2 railroads! Here they are:
A's railroad: Monster Railway. This was kind of a work center for trains. It had a hill, a bridge, a tunnel, a harbor, stations, and even a shed for the train that A made all by himself. It used to have another bridge the trains went under and a workstation. Now we know how big the power of a single innocent foot can be.
S's railroad: The Children Railroad. This railroad was supposed to be a kiddie attraction. It featured a train track with block walls, a hill, a Waterworks Workshop, a place where you could watch construction vehicles at work, a playhouse, and a visitor center. This place was REALLY fun to build. S's mom liked it, too!

We've been thinking about doing something like this: Every time they build a railroad on one of our playdates together, we'll give them a ticket. Then they can buy homemade gifts with their tickets at the Railroad Store. I can't wait for A and S to come again so we can try this out!

  1. I'm going to build another track next time I come back. You should also build a track with us in our house. You can visit our house any time you think of it because you're our friends! If you visit our house you can also see the cat.
