Train Ride & Family Fun

Apparently since there is Mother's Day and there is Father's Day, Vermont also feels the need to celebrate Kids' Day. And we joined in the fun! Kids rode free this past weekend on the Green Mountain Railroad (grown ups could tag along for a pretty cheap price). It was a pretty cool train. We rode about 45 minutes out and back-- not too much to see, but it was still really fun to see out the wide open windows and spend time together at the table on the train.

After the train ride we went to the Kids' Day carnival events downtown. Leah held a snake.

Jacob was a little grouchy because the sun was hot and, well, he's 2. The bubbles helped a little.

We sat on a fire truck and an ambulance. The paramedic in the ambulance was really nice and the kids enjoyed seeing some of the things they've been learning about the human body in science class!

Of course no Kids Day would be complete without creemees. Our first of the season!
