Christmas Train 2011

This weekend we headed downtown to the Holiday Express train at the UT Gardens. You may remember reading about this excursion last year here. Mason still loves trains and we were hoping that Reagan would enjoy the lights, trains, and landscaping as well. The day started off great with Steve and Mason heading to Lowe's to finish the last piece of the Christmas train while Reagan and I stayed home and tried to get some rest- she was up at 4:30 AM which meant so was I. She has been teething and her poor nose has run nonstop, but after a nap we were all ready to see what the Holiday Express would hold!
Mason was again in heaven! He loved looking at all the trains- it is amazing to see all the tracks- they even had a train carrying a hamster cage with a zui-zui pet in it. Reagan wasn't really interested in the trains, but she loved the bridge that overlooked all the trains. So I spent a lot of time going up the bridge and back down.
After some train time, we headed outside to roast marshmallows and make s'mores before a quick walk through the gardens.
Overall a great family day and now a Christmas tradition!

One of many trips up the bridge.

Mason did really well roasting marshmallows and he LOVED them. Reagan just stuck to graham crackers and chocolate.

Stone heart @ the UT Gardens.
