Sacramento Train Museum

Today we took a trip to the train museum in Old Sacramento with Drew, AJ, and Auntie Lilli. The kids had a great time looking at all the trains and walking through the different coaches. It is pretty amazing how huge some of the trains are...one weighed over 1 million pounds!

Everyone wanted to press the train horn button, but AJ was just excited to be free from the stroller. Kate loved watching Thomas go around the track.

I thought Kate would really enjoy playing at the Thomas train tables, but she didn't get too into it. Instead she begged me to go back downstairs to the yellow train.

After the train museum, we sat down for lunch in Old Sac. Kate LOVES spending time with Drew. She especially loves to follow what he is doing so she can feel like a big kid too.

So goofy!

Over the weekend...

We had the pleasure of Will's Dad coming into town on Saturday since Will's older brother, Walter, was graduating from the UCD Graduate School of Business. Kate was thrilled to play with her Dedushka!

Kate was helping her Dedushka color in her coloring book.

On Sunday we dressed Kate up in a dress we got from her Auntie Robyn and Uncle Walter. She received several compliments on her dress at church.

After church Kate was treated to her very first Volkswagen ride! Kate and I took a seat in the back while Will drove us slowly around our neighborhood. She loved it and was very sad when we stopped so Will let her play inside the car.A very happy Kate and a very happy Daddy.

"How can I find Raffi on this old radio?"

"Okay Daddy, I am ready to drive!"

Summer is here...finally!

After some crazy, winter-like weather, summer has finally arrived in Davis! Thankfully we have not gotten close to triple-degree weather...recently it has been perfectly in the mid-80's. Since we finally have some warm sun, we have been enjoying our little pool I bought at Target for $10. The pool actually fits all 3 of us so we have been spending long afternoons chilling in the water. Kate has LOVED every minute of it! I usually fill up the pool while she is napping so the water has a chance to warm up a bit...it is perfect! Below are some pictures of Kate in her new pool. Now before you judge us for her swimsuit, please know that we got this swimsuit as a gift at my baby shower from one of her great aunts. We couldn't resist dressing her in it since she is just too cute, but we plan on her only wearing it at home and wearing a one-piece in public. :-)
