Playin' Trains

Zack has loved trains since he was just a little guy.

We started his brio/thomas set for him when he was 3 years old. Every Christmas and Birthday we add something to it. It has grown way beyond what will actually fit on his table. He has a huge box of tracks that he keeps under his bed.

A while back, we went to Santa Fe to ride the old passenger train that travels the branch line to Galisteo Basin. It was so fun to make a whole weekend just for Zack.

Last weekend, PaPa took him to a model train club. They watched all of the trains and then went outside and toured a couple of antique train cars that were on display. Then, they stopped at Sonic on the way home. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more!

But Zack's favorite thing is having someone sit on the floor with him and build a new track on his table. He calls it "just playin' trains" and it's the sweetest time to spend with him. I know he'll grow out it one day, but for now, I'm going to enjoy "just playin' trains". . . . .
