"All Aboard"

We took Matthew for a ride on the Sounder commuter train yesterday. He was thrilled, of course, since he loves trains. As we were heading toward the train after it pulled up to the station, Matthew starts shouting "All Aboard!!" and starts pumping his arms in the air. Where is the video camera when I need it? It was hilarious. He loved the train ride and had a big smile on his face the whole time.


We took the train to Kent and walked around a bit. We came across a park with water fountains for the kids to run through. We were totally unprepared (no towel, no change of clothes) and Matthew could not be stopped when he saw the water. Fortunately, there was a thrift shop around the corner and we got him a towel and change of clothes for the ride home. Lesson learned for next time.

Oh, the simple pleasures of life! Kids teach us many things. If only we could be so happy with these little delights that come unsought, life would be more cheerful and relaxing. "Unless you become as little children . . .".
