trains!

this past weekend we took webb to cheekwood to see the trains exhibit.
it was a bit hot, but we managed.
thankfully some of the exhibit was shaded.

with casey being out of town for a week with work (which felt like a month),
my emotionally draining trip to chattanooga
(my mom's dad had major back surgery and then had a heart attack while in the hospital),
along with a few other things ...

... our family needed a little fun time together.
we knew webb would love the trains, because he is OBSESSED with thomas, and he did!

sometimes we skip out on some of the more exciting things in nashville for kids to save a buck or two.
instead we stick to the zoo and pool, which we already pay for, or the park, walks at radnor lake or playing in the yard.
that's usually our weekend.

but this weekend we needed something extra special.

it was so much fun to see how excited webb was about the trains at cheekwood.
he ran round and round chasing thomas the train, the ladybug train and checking out all the little houses in between.

thomas was watching our every move!

a typical shot of me and boo

this picture says ....
"you gotta be kidding me, it's time to leave?!?"

praying for granddaddy bill this week to recover from all he's been through.
we love him so much!

this picture is from the first time he met webb.
