Birthday on the Rails

Last Saturday was Elizabeth's 3rd birthday!!! She said she wanted to ride a train. With a January birthday, there's not a whole lot you can do. The zoo would have been too cold. But when given the choice, she picked train over zoo! I think credit must be given to The Polar Express and Dinosaur Train... not to mention a rail fan Dad. No matter, it was a lot of fun for all!

Exciting graffiti!

This is my favorite picture of
Elizabeth & Dad

Everything was exciting as she looked out the window!

She saw tunnels, water, and even a butterfly at one of the stops!

When the train stopped on the other side (before coming back),
we had cupcakes!

Grandma assisted so that she wouldn't get her jacket all chocolaty.
After cupcakes... presents!

She kept gasping saying,
"Oh my! Oh my!"

She got more princess stuff and some really cute dresses.
She excitedly waved the clothes around,
so I was unable to photograph them!

Putting all her beads in her new purse.

When we got back to the station,
Dad wanted us to look at the old T&P Building.
Uncle Bubba put some good photos on his blog.

But Elizabeth just played with her beads & purse.

She was eager to head to McDonald's for lunch, though!

Thanks to everyone who made
Elizabeth's 3rd birthday train ride
a wonderful expereience!
