We drove to Metamora today. It was the perfect day. Bright, sunny, beautiful, but not too hot.
Playing a little "swing the toddler up in the air" game.
Jacob watching out the window on the train.
A forced smile from Jake and Benjamin not even trying.
Sarah's BIG smile. Note the tiara/crown/wreath thing. It had long streamers attached. She bought this right before we went into the "Leather Hatchery." That was interesting. I had to buy one, too. I mean, it's what all the cool kids do.
He'd smile for Daddy but not for me. Brat.
Jake sat with Aunt Sarah on the train ride, so I don't have as many photos of him during the trip.
Benjamin was fascinated. Whenever the train whistle blew, he'd open his mouth as big as possible. It was really cute.
Reminiscent of our first trip to Metamora. They discourage photos like these. I forgot about the whole "window may close on its own" thing. We won't be having any more photos like this.
Up by the engine!
Both kids actually fell asleep during the return trip. It was pretty adorable. Benjamin fussed for a minute and then passed out on the seat next to me. We then noticed Jacob (who had moved to a seat by himself) sway and then almost fall backwards. I went to sit next to him while he slept so he wouldn't tumble down the walkway.
Some day I will have a gorgeous family photo. For now, this will have to do.
Benjamin said he didn't want any ice cream. Greg and I both got chocolate chip cookie dough waffle cones (there was a man in there making the waffle cones ... yum!). Jacob got strawberry ice cream. Greg and I offered Benjamin some of ours, but he only wanted "pink." Jacob is a wonderful big brother and willingly shared with Benjamin, feeding him little bites whenever Benjamin said, "More pink!"
