Eli and Katie enjoyed all the people |

"Oh, you wanted me to sit AND smile?" |

Isn't this cowboy hat that Bruce, Sharon
and Scott got Eli too adorable? |

He thought that he was pretty hot stuff especially once we took off his shirt (he does not like to be too warm) |

|

They love holding hands and exploring together |

The model trains were fun to watch go around the track |

|

Our friend Brian was displaying his trains here with his club and invited us up to see them all. Thanks, Brian. |

Upstairs at the museum they have a big area of Thomas the train toys for the kids to play with. |

Katie liked the observation area for the Thomas train |

Eli mostly liked just running around under the table
