Nothing But A Good Ride

Last week, the kids took a ride on the Indiana State Fair Train. This weekend, they'll board their first plane since traveling here from Moscow. If the plane is as big of a hit as the train, we'll be in good shape.

Living on the northeast side of Indy, you hear a lot of the Fair Train in August. Every time the whistle blew in our part of town, the kids' ears would perk up. So, we took several after dinner trips to sit and watch the train roll by. Based on the kids' reaction, it's safe to say that trains rank right up there with Santa Claus and ice cream right now.

The kids have had lots of special visitors recently too. Ellie loves chatting everybody up and Bo has become somewhat of a real estate agent. He takes visitors by the hand the minute they stroll in and then proceeds to show them every room in the house. If you plan to stop by, factor in a few extra minutes for the tour.
