Trucks, Trains and a Birthday



What a jam packed weekend! Saturday morning we went to a kids truck fair at the Shiawassee fair grounds. They had all kinds of trucks, tractors, emergency vehicles, buses....you name it and it was there! Austin had a blast going in all the different vehicles. They also had an indoor fair with booths set up that had activities for kids. Instead of doing the activities though, Austin ran from booth to booth grabbing candy and snacks out of the bowls at each table! That's my boy:) After the truck fair we came back to town for the Railroad Days parade. Austin loved the marching band and is still talking about them. He even puts on big hats and marches around the house.

Saturday after his nap we headed to the Railroad Days fair to check out the kids rides and I couldn't believe it but Austin said he wanted to get on the rides by himself! I was so proud of him and he had a blast on the little train and truck rides. He even wanted to ride on the pony's! He is getting so independent lately, it makes me miss my little baby sometimes.

Sunday we headed to the train depot in town to check out all the model railroads they had set up and to go inside the caboose. Austin did not want to leave the depot but we were headed to a train sale and flea market at the middle school which turned out to be a bad idea. We thought they would have booths with kids trains and toys but almost every booth was model trains for adults, and very expensive ones. Needless to say Austin wanted the big boy trains and was not happy with Mommy and Daddy when he couldn't have them or even touch them. So we hurried out of that place. After naptime on Sunday we celebrated Daddy's Birthday. We sang Happy Birthday and had cupcakes that Austin picked out and helped Mommy make and then we gave Daddy our presents. It was a great weekend.

On a side note, Austin has been doing the cutest thing the past couple days. I'll catch him tapping his index finger on his bottom lip and I'll ask him what he is doing and he says "I'm thinking Mommy." Oh, I just want to eat him up! And I can't forget to mention that he also has lots of "Girlfriends" now. When he sees or meets a girl he likes he calls her his girlfriend! He has a girlfriend at the bank and Mommy's friend Rosie is his girlfriend too. And a little girl who visits our next door neighbor has become his girlfriend too. It's started already!
