Izee's Big Boy Trip

A couple weeks ago Izee decided he was too big to wear diapers. He was right. He has been doing an awesome job of using the potty. That's right; Our house is now diaper-free! WooHoo! Izee picked the Colorado Railroad Museum for his big boy trip. We decided to go on St. Patrick's day because it was the one day in March that the museum offered train rides.

The first thing we did after we arrived was ride the train. The train goes around the perimeter of the museum so you can see the whole train yard.

Then we walked around and looked at all the different kinds of trains.

(Daddy and the boys on the engine)

(Nonna and Izee on the passenger car. We could look in and see the pretty velvet seats but we couldn't go in.)

(Izee on the caboose)

(The mail train. No, those aren't real people.)

(Mommy and Daddy in the track service truck)

(In case you didn't read the side of the train, this is the kitchen car. We couldn't go in this one either but we could look in the door and see the cast iron stove.)

(This is the coolest and biggest train car at the museum, the snow blower car. Look how tiny we look next to this thing!)

Last we went inside to learn more about trains.

The boys were so good that they even got train sets on the way out.
