the train park

On New Years day we visited the train park out in Scottsdale. What a fun day! All three were so excited about riding the train, Emma had a melt down though when we told her she needed to go potty before she could ride the train. She does not like public restrooms. 

This is such a typical Emma face. She refused to go potty.. that is a story itself..for another time. :)

A nice man took our picture before we headed off for the grand adventure! I seriously worry that a child is going to fall off that train. We held onto our kids tight. 

I took a video of Micah on the train I'll have to upload. He was freaking out! He was pointing and just talking non stop the whole time! He kept saying "whooo whoo!!" He almost couldn't handle so much excitement! Jonah just waved to everyone we passed by, and Emma sat quietly holding onto my arm, with a big smile on her face the whole time. The tunnel scared her quite a bit though!

Next, we rode the Merry go round! Micah was actually really scared and confused about it. This 

picture pretty much sums up his expression the whole time. 

Jonah is looking so old these days! Our big five year old, so independent. 

Poor Emma, I suddenly realized she was crouched down, shaking, and almost falling off the horse. That merry go round was actually going pretty fast! 

We went into the model train exhibit which was incredible! There were all these old guys running the trains, setting up more tracks, using big Costco containers of spices to make dirt and grass. 

Once again, Micah was freaking out the whole time we walked through. He just kept screamimg, "Whoo Whoo!!" and pointing at every train he saw. 

Had to post these pictures. They also had these amazing doll houses set up! With real windows, they had sooo much detail! 

Some more from the park..

Happy 2013!!!!!!!!
