Trains!

Today we went to a Train Expo in Plano since we thought Sofia would really enjoy watching all the model trains and CK and I were both surprised at how interesting and fun it was! There were displays of all sizes of model trains in several different showrooms, as well as vendors selling endless train goods. The trains were amazing and nearly all of the displays had incredible little towns and animals surrounding the tracks. The first room had standard gauge trains (the largest) that were set up on the floor, which was great for all the kids to lay down or sit and watch the trains go by. Plus, the had a few Thomas trains set up, a big favorite among all kids. Sofia corrected us by pointing out "Percy" and "James" along with Thomas. We also rode on a train in the courtyard which was fun, although not quite the real thing! It was so fun and I took tons of pictures! When Sofia woke up from her nap she said to CK "Papa, I really had fun watching all those trains."

After her nap, Sofia is inspired to play with her Thomas Train set - not that she doesn't do this every single day, but usually in the morning....she went to great effort to put the track and trains together. So cute!
