Train-Tastic

For those who have kids that like to watch the Disney channel, you may recognize the phrase "train-tastic". It is from the cartoon Chuggington and my boys are in love with it! Every morning I have a request from at least one of the boys to watch it.
We had our own train-tastic day on Saturday. Troy was in a hunting class all weekend and to break up the day I decided to take the boys to the depot. We stopped and got lunch first and then sat in the parking lot eating and watching trains. It was such a nice day,we even got to sit in the car with the windows down and not freeze. When we first got to the place where I normally park we saw a train sitting at the main stopping point.
After about 5 minutes of waiting, Sebastien says, "Mom, the train is going potty."
Me: "You're right, the train is going potty."
Sebastien: "No silly! The conductor is going potty. He needs to hurry."

I usually tell him the trains have to stop because the conductor needs a break. I couldn't help but laugh when he said this. He is so funny and catches on to EVERYTHING now. If he doesn't understand what we are talking about, his response is usually "what you talking about momma?"
I didn't bring the camera with me this day so I just used my cell phone. They aren't the best looking pictures but at least I got some...

Engines!
Sebastien is eating his lunch, waiting on the train.

Manti couldn't hide his excitement!

It was such a great day to see trains. We were so lucky, we got to see FOUR different trains go by. The boys loved it!
