A little over a month ago, Nana picked up
the Train Crazy Kids as an after thought for .50 cents at a garage sale. Ever since then Dawson has been OBSESSED with it. I can't believe it still works after all the hours of play we've gotten out of it. It's basically a documentary about all things trains. I could recite to you the song that plays in it, "When I grow up I want to have some fun, work real hard and get my job done!....". You can just image how great the other 2 hours of it are!
So when I found a real life "Santa Train" ride, I got tickets for us to go. Dawson loved it. It was such a neat experience. We was a little like "Wow, a real train, with a real Santa?". It was fun to be able to do something he is so madly consumed with and tap into it. Makes him seem like such a little man to have such strong interests. And he even let me take his picture with Santa!

If anyone is interested in a showing of Train Crazy Kids, Dawson would be happy to share the love. It's pretty much showing all the time!
