Union Station

We took a quick trip to Union Station and Crown Center this morning to see the trains, trees and lights. You were such a ham. You loved the walking bridge between the two places. You kept running and watching the ruffles on your pants flap, each step of the way. You were very amused with yourself.

You were excited to ride the train, which was somewhat out of the norm for you. You wanted to ride and proudly climbed inside. Normally you do not want to do things by yourself, but you were ready for the adventure today. When Mimi started to walk away after she helped you inside, you wanted to get out, but by the time the train took off, you were good to go!

Around and around you went, waving and smiling as Mimi and I greeted you around each turn.

You absolutely LOVED the carolers at Union Station. You were mesmerized that they could sing and dance. You walked right out in front of everyone and started dancing with them. People started taking photos of you as you mimicked everything that they were doing. After each song you clapped and cheered with delight.

You were too busy to get photos by the tree, but we tried.

You were mesmerized by the huge wreath that hung over the doors at Union Station.

You really liked the train villages that were set up. I could hardly keep you off the floor because you were so curious. You kept banging your head against the glass unintentionally, because you were trying to get as close as possible to the little scenes they had set up.

I love our little adventures together. You go along with the flow very easily. You make everything so much fun. I can't wait until we can take you to see Santa. I think we need to continue to warm you up to the idea of him before we jump right in. But we will see what happens in the next few weeks.
