All Aboard!

We took Caleb to ride the choo-choo on Friday. We rode the Texas State Railroad from Rusk to Palestine. He loved it! He was so excited when he got to the depot. He was running all around yelling "choo-choo!" and pointing at it. How cute!
Here we are before the ride. Caleb's stuffing his face with a gingerbread cookie that Papa bought him.








This picture is when we first started going. Caleb's pointing out all the trees and the cows.









Caleb's waiting for the other train to come. About halfway, we met the train that leaves from Palestine. Our train pulled off on a little side track, so the other one could pass.

Don't we look like we're having fun? Chris's sister took this one of us with our heads hanging out the train (something we weren't supposed to be doing of course!).

After a picnic in the park in Palestine and a trip to the gift shop where we found a magnet with Caleb's name on a train (and he got to play with all the toys), we were headed to Fairfield.

My big 10-year reunion was this weekend. It was a lot of fun, and I got to see people I haven't seen in forever! We had a family get together at the park on Sat. morning. Caleb had a blast playing on the playground. He even found a girlfriend.


This is my friend Kayla's little girl, Caroline. I guess Caleb's going to like 'em older, just like his daddy! It's so crazy to see all these people you grew up with with their own kids.

Then we had the big party Sat. night without the kids. I'm glad so many people showed up, but I wish there could have been more. We had such a good time. Chris was even surprised that he knew so many people and had several people to talk to! It was fun reminiscing about old times, and Kathleen and the decorating committee had put old pictures all over the place. Even the music brought back memories! Since it was at the Country Club, I kept thinking about all our jr. high dances. This time, however, the boys and girls weren't on opposite sides of the room! My, how we've grown up! ;)

Here's our "class" picture. Some of the people had already left by this time. Too bad I won't see some of these folks for ten more years. We should do this more often!
