Trains at the Gardens

For the first time this week Peter and I ventured out of the house. With the weather, lack of car and him just getting over a cold we have been indoors a lot. Anyway, we went to the Botanical Gardens to see their Christmas train exhibit with some of the moms and kiddos from church. Peter had a blast. For the first little bit you could find him either looking like this...

or like this.


He thought the trains were very interesting and kept going from one exhibit to another. And then his stored up energy kicked in and the child was a constant blur of motion!




I don't know how many times he made laps around the room, but he was in heaven. He did stop every so often to admire the flowers, trains or as you can see from the video someone else's things. But for the most part he just did laps.


I did get him to hold still for about 10 seconds to have a friend snap this picture of us. (Peter really needs a haircut but I just can't brind myself to cut his curls off!)

The DC botanical gardens also displays trains during Christmas. It's the only Christmas activity that I can do with the Muslim cousins. Too bad I can't see Peter here. And I agree, keep the curls.
