Trains, Trains & Waterfalls

We had the chance to meet up with some friends today at the
Northwest Railway Museum. We took all the kids on a train ride for the first 1 1/2 or so and then explored the museum and some of the old rail cars.

The little ones had a great time going on the train, it was very old school and the kids were able to hang out the window a bit. It does make one a bit nervous when the two year olds start hanging out though! We had to keep a super close eye on them. The train moved pretty slow and BJ was not terribly impressed with it's speed. (This coming from a kid that just came back from an amusement park camp week though!)

Elsa and I were chatting a bit and it hit us that BJ is only 2 years younger than we were when we met. We're coming up on 20 years knowing each other. Funny how when you're young 20 years seems like an eternity and then looking back at 20 years when you're older, it just goes by so fast.

After the train museum & train ride we hiked down to Snoqualmie Falls. It's really not too bad of a hike, but with a couple of tired 2 year olds, it takes a little longer than expected. Ah well, all in all I think the kids had a great time and I know I did. Elsa, your family is incredible & I can't wait to see you guys again!
