Our Transportation Museum Visit!

What fun! We decided to head to the museum for Cadens 2nd birthday June 13th. Hot, hot, hot. But we made it. It was just about a 1 hour drive to get there and both boys fell asleep on the ride which was a plus. This way they would be in a great mood to start our day. Our first stop was inside one part of the museum where they have different exhibits of planes and fire trucks. Caden was in love with the fire trucks. It was pretty much impossible to get him to leave. We had to wait it you could hear the train outside for him to get up and rush the exit! Once we made it outside Caden was so excited to see a train right in front of him with an engineer waving "Hi" Again moving on to the next thing was hard so a lot of coaching was involved. We then went to a building that housed tons of old Cars. Models and life size cars. In the glass with the models was Christian's favorite car Bumble Bee from Transformers! Next was on to the train that you could go inside and see where the conductor sits. This was too small for me to fit and take pictures. I was lucky to make it out alive! But again Caden loved it. We then were able to see a demonstration on how the tracks used to be laid down. Then the part I think they liked the most was the Round house. Inside were tons and tons of model trains and really trains. At the model train stations you could push buttons that made different items move. There was even a place where you could ring the train bell. Both boys were able to help an engineer shovel coal into a "fire place" to help the train go! So much excitement and fun in one place! Last was a ride on the Round table where the trains go on to be put into the round house, the place where the engines sleep. Perfect timing cause I think mommy needed a nap!

Christian was awesome at his Gymnastic Exhibition. It was on Saturday May 31st. I have been having problems with my computer so these 3 video are all I can post as of now. As soon as it is fixed I will hopefully get the picture of him with his medal. In the first video Christian is showing what they do on the floor. (He is the one in the light blue shirt with dark blue shorts in case it is to blurry to tell.) 

The next video is what they do on the Trampoline. He was the last one to go and they were running late so His turn was a little short. :-) They also do Bars and the Tumble Track but I could not get those videos off my computer which is probably a good thing since by the time he got to that event he was a little crazy jumping bean and kept throwing himself onto mats that he was not suppose to be on.

And this last video is the finish. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did watching him.
