Grandpa

Grandpa arrived Saturday night after the kids were in bed. They were so happy in the morning when they realized Grandpa was in the living room.   One of Grandpa's favorite things to do is take a train ride.  The weather was perfect and the trees are beginning to turn, so Monday was a great day for a ride.  Grandpa decided his travel companions would join us on the train.  That decision sent two little ones running to their rooms for their companions.  Then Donny decided he needed to wear his "handsome" shirt and his cowboy hat.  The outfit was not complete without his trusty sword.   Abigail needed to bring her purse which contained one baseball and Kai-Lan.  When everyone finally had all their things together, we rode the train three stops away, got back on and came home.

Abigail sat next to Grandpa and talked his ear off for about fifteen minutes.  I am pretty such Grandpa is driving back to Ohio in complete silence.
