We had such a great time with C and M on Saturday despite some very rainy conditions.
We started off with grandma's french toast and scrambled eggs. Then it was time to go to The Wild West Town and The Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL.
It was raining pretty hard when we got to the museum so we spent about 1/2 hour inside looking at the old west museum. The kids were not that interested, but their grandpa was. Grandpa was a big cowboy/indian fan as a kid.
It stopped raining so we went outside and rode the little canoe ride, the carousel, and attempted to go to the outdoor wild west show, but as soon as the "cowboy" shot a gun in the air M started screaming. Poor thing the noise was so loud it scared her. We decided it was best to leave the show and head to lunch.
When we got out from lunch the sun was shining and the temps had picked up so it was very warm. We headed over to the Railway Museum to catch a ride with "Thomas The Tank Engine"
We had a 2:30 ticket so we had about an hour or more to walk around. We rode a trolley car and some ice cream. M was getting tired but Caleb was so excited to ride the train.
We finally got on the train and Thomas pulled us around for about 10 minutes and then pushed us back. He sure must be tired at all of the work he does.
Both kids were exhausted and so were there grandparents. We love having time to spend with the grandkids and hope they remember the special times with Grandma and Grandpa(minus the loud gun sounds):)
