We had a free-ish day this past Sunday, so we decided to take the kids to Oak Meadow Park in Los Gatos so Dylan could ride the train. This train, the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad, is the same railroad we took the kids to for Dylan’s blazing hot 3rd birthday celebration. But, at that time, the steam train was being serviced so it wasn’t out on the tracks.
Ever since he found out about this little local train, Dylan has been wanting to ride the steam train…so, we finally did.
Cameron fell asleep on the way there, so Tom stayed in the car with her while Dylan and I rode the train and the carousel.
While we were in line for our second train ride, Tom and Cameron appeared! So, Tom took a turn riding with Dylan while Cameron and I watched them go by (poor camera control with Cameron in one arm!).
Afterwards, we got a sno-cone for Dylan (it was dreadfully hot there today) and Cameron and I went on the carousel. She was very sweet. At first, she seemed uncertain about the whole experience, but she soon got in a comfy carousel groove and she started waving bye bye to the circus animals painted in the center of the carousel.
After we finished with the carousel, we let the kids wander around a bit and then decided to grab dinner in Los Gatos (where Cameron proceeded to squirm and wriggle like a madwoman and where she insisted on walking independently! She is a handful!). Cameron is now trying all sorts of new things: tomatoes, Teddy Puffs, artichokes, olives. She really likes eating what we’re eating so we’re eager to ramp her up on some of our more common foods.
Oh! And she’s beginning to say “airplane” (only understandable in context, but she really only tries to say it when she’s looking up at the sky at an airplane anyway!) and “cookie,” and she signed “light” for the first time just a couple of nights ago. Did I already mention that she has been calling Dylan “dih dih?”
Backlog: It’s hard to believe that this little guy was our big boy Dylan at only ~3 months old!
