train festival.

Our city puts on an annual train festival with model trains, yummy fair food, lots of different kinds of entertainment, and train rides. We first took Nate back in 2012 and then in 2013, he rode the train for the first time! No train ride for us this year because N's patience has been more than lacking. The 'are we there yet?' game starts before we've even left the driveway! 

The big hit this year was the Lego model trains. N and one of his friends watched, and watched, and watched. I think we revisited the Lego display about three or four times. 

We got suckered into some moon bounce tickets, too, but the next biggest hit was a hand-cranked train ride. Nate had so much fun on this! 

The train festival was a bit more crowded than usual this year, likely from the fact that a 'retired' steam engine was in town. We weren't able to get too close, but it definitely was the hot commodity at the train festival!

Glad that this little kiddo had so much fun!
