Jack's first train ride

Friday morning, I woke Jack up at 6:45 to ride the train to Decatur. We got there just in time to get our tickets and jump on the train. He was so excited to ride "Thomas." He sat by the window and ate his breakfast, while watching everything zoom by. We arrived in St. Louis at 1:10. We sat in the bus terminal while we waited for our train to Lincoln. I did not want to carry our bags, and try to keep an eye on Jack to do any sightseeing while we waited. We had a minor meltdown when we got lunch. Thankfully, it was time to get on the next train. Almost immediately after we got on board, he cuddled up, and fell asleep. We got to Lincoln at 5:30, where Carli and Nini were waiting for us. We stopped at the Korn Krib for dinner, and came home. He was far too excited to eat. He got on his swim trunks, and got in the pool. He didn't care that the water was 73 degrees, and it was sprinklin outside!! When it started raining, it didn't take long for him to get settled in. Before too long, he was on the computer, playing Tranformers. Today, he practiced diving. He had fun swimming with Carli and Charlotte. He didn't want to get out, even though he was shivering. Tyler came over, and Carli, Tyler, Nini and I played dominoes. Darlene came for a short visit, bringing us some cake. Carli, Tyler, Jack, and I went for a ride. Carli wanted to practice driving. I wanted Jack to fall asleep. Thankfully, he did. Carli did pretty good!
