Dave took off a couple of days last week and we all spent the first few days of summer break together. We left Monday morning and went to Kirkwood. Dave, Dane, Reese, my mom, and I had lunch at a bakery in Downtown Kirkwood and then headed across the street to the Amtrak Station. We bought tickets to ride the train from Kirkwood to Downtown St. Louis.
Dane was so excited! He loves trains! Many times we take the long way home from daycare in the afternoon just so we can see the trains.
We had some time to hang out after lunch before the train came. Aunt Katie came up to come see us before we left. Dane was telling Katie about getting ready to ride the train.
It was a beautiful day and Dane loved being outside.
The area around the train station is really pretty so we walked around a bit.
About 1:30 we watched the train pull up.
Dane seemed a little in shock to see the big train so close.
He held Mama's hand and watched like he couldn't believe it!
Then came a BIG smile!
Dane waved goodbye to Aunt Katie and got ready to get on the train.
Reese was too tired to be excited!
There was a big step to get on the train, so Daddy helped Dane.
We rode the train down to the Downtown St. Louis station and then walked over to Union Station. Dane feed the fish.
He was making me so nervous, but he loved it.
We had actually hoped to ride the paddle boats at Union Station and walk around. Honestly though, there wasn't much there. The paddle boats were closed. A lot of stores were closed. We did watch the guys sing at the Fudgery and get a piece of fudge to take home.
Papa came down to pick us all up and we headed back to Kirkwood! A fun activity for the start of summer!
