Trains!

We flew to Florida on Friday December 17th to spend Papa's birthday and an early Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma on the farm. On Saturday, Grandpa and Grandma took us to the train exhibit at the College of Central Florida (where Papa went to community college so many years ago). The train exhibit was great and Sofia couldn't get enough of them. The trains weren't displayed at her level, which meant that someone had to hold her up to watch, and that was usually Grandma or Grandpa. A few days later, Grandma took us back to visit the trains again after we'd been in town for lunch with Great Grandma and Aunt Bonnie. Sofia's big thing was to count each of the train cars as they'd go by. She's great with 1-11, but then jumps to 13, 16, 12.... so each time she came out with a different final number.
