On Saturday, we took a family fun day to the
North Carolina Transportation Museum and the
Lazy 5 Ranch. John took a morning nap on the
hour long drive to the Museum:

We got to take a 25-minute train ride:


John was observant and rather tense for the whole ride, his brows furrowed all the while:
"I hear something" (the train's horn):

The windowsill was hot:
John sat there, tensely holding his arms suspended much of the time:

But John really did love the train and relaxed once we were off of it and in the museum:
John kept pointing to the old-fashioned ambulance and saying "vroom!" and signing OWIE.
We bought our sweet boy a train hat, which he likes wearing:

After lunch at
Spanky's Homemade Ice Cream and Deli, we drove 13 miles down a county highway to the Lazy 5 Ranch where cute little donkeys awaited us at the entrance gate:

Amazingly, some drivers fed these longhorn cattle (against the rules) and even let the animals stick their heads inside the vehicles!

John was tuckered out by our long day and fell asleep on the drive home, clutching the new car Daddy bought him at the Transportation Museum:
Wow, his hair is so red!
ReplyDeletePlease just hug him tight for me. He is absolutely adorable! I love that picture of him thinking!
