Our first Saturday home we decided to go see the train museum in Katy. Beckett is currently fascinated by all things trains and cars. He is totally content as long as he has a car or train in his hand and he is chugging them along (sound effects included). Katy is actually named for the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad that ran through here many many years ago, so there is alot of train history to go see.
I've been wanting to take them to the Katy Depot for a while now and so we finally did. It's the original depot used by the railway that has been restored by the Katy Heritage Society. They've done a great job and we even got our own personal tour of the building. She showed us the ticketmaster's office, the waiting rooms, and luggage room.
(He kept shouting "TRAIN!" "TRAIN!")
I thought it was fascinating and the kids just wanted to play with the coin machine and scream at the model trains. After out tour of the depot we went to see the caboose. It's closed and locked, but you can still climb the outside and sit on it. They LOVED it!
After we left the Katy Depot we headed up to our favorite train place- the train park! It's an amazing park- it's huge and they have made a giant play structure that looks like a train. I don't think the kids have caught onto this yet, but they've never asked why we call it the train park. Beckett is finally a good age for these places so they have a lot of fun when we go. Each one takes off in a different direction (which is awesome) and they climb and run and swing. It's great!
After lunch and naps we all somehow ended up in our bed. I don't know if this has happened before, but it was really sweet.
