Trains...Trains...Everywhere!

Scott's dad is an avid model railroader. Yesterday the whole family loaded up in the van and drove to a small town about 60 miles away for a train show. Colin was fascinated. (I apologize in advance for the poor quality of the picutres, but all I had available to me was the camera on my cell phone.)

From what Scott and his dad told me, it really was quite a nice show with a good variety of layouts and vendors. I wouldn't know, though, because this one layout was pretty much all I was able to see. I couldn't drag Colin away from it. In fact, the only way we were able to get him to leave without causing a BIG scene was by bribing him with the playground & park that were next to the building where the train show was

At one point, I was actually able to tear him away from that particular layout for about 5 minutes. Just long enough to go check out this engine that he could sit in. Once this picture was snapped he went right back over to the other layout.

All in all, we had a really nice afternoon. If you ever have the pleasure of visiting Arkansas City, KS be sure to dine at Mozitti's. We stopped there for lunch on the recommendation of one of the locals from the train show. The food was fabulous!!
