Surprise Trip

Today as a surprise, we traveled to Hanford on the train. We got to the Amtrak station and the kids had no idea. They were 5 feet from the tracks and said, "Maybe we can see a train". Oh, little did they know. We raced on (the kids and I were in the bathroom), and rode 35 minutes. We couldn't find Panera Bread, so we ate at Carl's Jr., then ate ice cream at Superior Dairy. Then walked back to the train. All in all, we figure we walked 3 miles or so and the kids were great. They did fall a lot, Cole nailed his head on the pavement. When we got home, he was running down the hall and slipped again into the wall. The knot doubled in size and he will have a beautiful purple head tomorrow. I'm posting two sets of pictures just because my kids (and Tiffany's) are so darn cute. Avery is apparently trying out for "America's Next Top Model" because I can't take a "normal" picture of her anymore- notice the posing. It was such a beautiful day, the kids were so good, and we all came home still smiling.
