Gram and Poppy came to visit on Friday and stayed for the weekend. They were coming to help me out a little while Geoff was in China, but luckily Geoff ended up coming home this weekend also, so we all got to take a trip to ride the train! Gram and Poppy had already planned this activity for the kids, but it became a family affair, and everyone loved it! We drove to Eureka Springs, and rode the locomotive into the "woods", watched the engine run over our spare change and flatten it into very thin pancakes and then rode back to the station. We got to listen to the whistle, see the engine attach to the commuter car and even had a conductor who told us about the train while we rode. It was a great time and the perfect day for riding. We finished off with some lunch and ice cream before heading back to our neck of the woods.
Claire also attended two birthday parties this weekend...she is quite the social butterfly! Landon stayed busy with Gram, Poppy and Daddy while we were partying. Overall, it was a great, and very busy weekend; one we will not soon forget!

What a great weekend!! I hope the kids enjoyed the train ride as much as we did. Poppy was reflecting this evening and said "Now what were we doing this time last week?" We decided we were eating at Red Robbin, oh those onion rings!!!
