One of my favorite experiences as a parent is experiencing things with my kids for the first time.  Ryan loves Thomas the train but has never actually rode on a train.  We decided to take the kids to local state park that has an old train ride.  It is fairly short and inexpensive so it is perfect for first timers (including a restless toddler)!

The kids had a blast and I think Alex and I had just as much fun watching the world through their eyes!
