On any given Sunday the kids and I get together with sister Karen & her kids, along with our Mom for breakfast. We go to a place close to us called The Hamburger Factory in Old Poway Park. There's a railway that runs around the park with a great old steam locomotive as well as 2 other trains. We have breakfast then usually ride the train. It's a great little park and the kids are still young enough that they love to go. Almost every weekend someone is in the park having a "Thomas the Tank Engine" birthday party. (You get an extra lap around the park on the train on your birthday.) There are HUGE trees with amazing, giant leaves. A little creek runs through the center of the park and an egret, or maybe it's a crane, is usually hanging out. There is a big gazebo and often something going on....concerts, art shows, craft fairs, etc. There is a great little ticket office with a really good Thomas train table. I usually end up dragging 1 or more kids out screaming and crying when we have to go after playing for a while. I will miss when these days are over! Rose already tells me "it's boring" on occasion. For now I will just enjoy our happy Sunday mornings.

Owen, David, Madeline, Rose & Joey getting ready for the train ride. Today we had the open air speeder train. This one is fun as it gets going faster than the others and the floor vibrates like the Footsie Wootsie machines at the Del Mar Fair.
Look Ma, no hands! Woo-HOO!
