Ethan's Birthday Party

Ethan and his best buddy Matthew had their 4th birthday party yesterday at the Texas Transportation Museum. There were lots of real trains, models trains, old-time cars, tractors... even carriages on display. It was a GORGEOUS day. Sunny and upper 70s. Couldn't have asked for better weather!


This is the engine that pulled the tour train. One open car with bench seats and a red caboose. It went out about 1/2 mile and then came back on the same track. They could make the trip into a loop but it would cost about half a million dollars and they haven't found a wealthy train-loving benefactor yet!


Here's the caboose where all of us rode. Once at 2:00, 3:00 and 4:00!


This is the party area. The red building on the right is actually another caboose that holds the party tables. We did a Thomas pinata from the tree.


And here are the birthday boys listening to the conductor. They got to stand in the front and give hand signals to the engineer that the train was loaded and ready to roll!
