All Parker wanted for his 3rd {he tells everyone his 4th, thank goodness it's not} birthday was a "train party." Easy enough, right? But birthdays are special, so it needed to be special too. I thought, and thought... and finally came to the conclusion that a "train party" isn't a train party unless you ride a train. So arrangements and goodies were made. Cupcake in a jar anyone? Thought they would travel better~ just imagine them with a shiny gold lid, and a wooden spoon;)
Then we packed up and headed off to catch the train. This was our family's first time on the front runner~ I know, lame. But I thought this was the perfect opportunity.
My darling kiddos were so darn excited to board that puppy.Love this picture~
There was a pizza party while we waited~ and then finally we were on the train and headed for the Union Station. The kids were eating it up!
Once we got there we met up with all of our grandparents, aunts & uncles, and cousins, and toured the train museum...
The museum was awesome~ kids thoroughly amused, we headed outside to play on this big guy...
I've never seen monkeys jump in and start climbing so quick~ they were in heaven...
Kiddos everywhere~ so so fun:)
Parke blowing out his 3 little candles. I can't believe it has already been 3 whole years since I laid eyes on him, seems like only yesterday.
Gifts opened, cupcakes devoured, and then more monkeying around outside~
"Shoo Shoo!" Parke could have stayed there all night...
We filled our tummies with some delicious grub from the Union Grill, and then it was time to catch the train back home...
And he headed off into the sunset with his daddy, and a new addition to his train set at home. It was so nice to sit and relax all the way home, we really need to utilize that train more. Hmm... where to next guys? So the conductor hats I ordered still haven't come~ what the??
