Choo Choo




Today was a most glorious day!!! It was beautiful and sunny... The kids slept in after a late night at our friends Jim and Monique's house... We had a celebration feast there with all the families in our community group and as the sun was setting we roasted marsh-mellows and Siah and Hal had their very first taste of s'mores... As Siah said, "Deeelicious!!!!"

Today, I met with some friends at the train station in Carlsbad and we took all the kids for a ride on the train to Fletcher Cove for a picnic lunch and an afternoon playing on the playground that's right on the beach... It was absolutely gorgeous!!!! Hal was a little scared at first cuz she doesn't like the loud noise the train makes when it first pulls into the station... But once we got on and went to the top (It's a double-decker train), she was smiling and and telling me all the things that she saw out the window. Her and Siah and their little friend Wyatt kept shouting, "Choo Choo! Choo Choo!" Thank you Lord for sweet memories made today :)

But then...

When we got home Hal and Siah were running up and down the driveway and Hal totally took a tumble and fell flat on her face!!!! Now she has a yucky swollen lip...

here are some pictures of her sad little face... My friend took pictures of our train adventure so i will have to post those another time...

we hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend with your families and friends :)
