Train Ride

Benjamin and I took a train ride last week to visit my grandparents. The train worked out really well. There was enough room that Benjamin could play on the seat next to me, and I could get up and walk around with him if he got fussy. Train travel was great! I kind of wish we could take the train everywhere we have to travel. (and also that we never had to travel too far) The time with my grandparents was really nice too. We didn't do anything too extreme while we were there, but it was a good trip. I helped wrap presents and get cookies ready to ship.

Benjamin liked the dog, Zed, and the dog was pretty interested in Benjamin too, so that made for some interesting times. Zed would try and lick Benjamin and Benjamin would be going after Zed so they'd keep you running in circles trying to save them from each other. Zed got pretty jealous if Great-Grandpa held Benjamin, which is kind of funny, and if I tried to give Zed attention to distract him Benjamin would get jealous. I guess they're both a little bit spoiled.

We came home with loads of Christmas presents and a big box of cookies, plus lots of happy feelings. It's nice to be close enough to visit every once and a while. Next year it'll be an even easier, shorter trip, and I'm hopeful that there'll be more trips like this.
We're getting ready for another trip now, we'll spend Christmas with Jacob's parents - so Merry Christmas everyone!
