Gavin's 3rd Birthday

Gavin turned 3 several weeks ago - Its amazing how fast time flies. He will be going to 3 year old preschool this year for 3 days a week. I'm going to miss him. Kyle was working in Hartsville for his birthday so we made a day trip to see Kyle and we did presents and took him to get his birthday donut. As most of you know Gavin has an (unhealthy - As Kyle likes to call it) obsession with trains so of course we got him more trains to add to his collection. I don't know what we are going to do with all these trains when he grows out this stage.





Tweetsie Railroad to see Thomas the Train

We recently took the kids to Tweetsie Railroad to ride Thomas the Train who was there visiting for a week. When we first arrived Thomas rounded the corner on the mountain and we thought Gavin was going to start crying because he was so excited about seeing Thomas. He was a little gun shy when we first got up close to him. Gavin really was in stimulus overload with all the train stuff. Madison wasn't interested so much. We each let them pick out a toy and she picked out sunglasses and jewelry (as you will see in the picture below).

Great Wolf Lodge


Kyle and I decided to take the kids for a couple of days to the Great Wolf Lodge in NC. This place is the ideal place to stay for kids. They have an indoor waterpark - putt-putt course - outdoor pool - magic quest - arcade the list goes on ...... The kids really did have a great time. They enjoyed the pools and story time at night.
