Big Train Ride

Grama Jo set up a fun day for us on Wednesday.  We took an Amtrak train from Bakersfield to Fresno to visit Aunt Janice, Uncle Benji, and cousins Adam and Carin.  It was Nash and Nolan's first big train ride.

The train ride took just under 2 hours each way.  We had some snacks and enjoyed the ride.  Nolan slept most of the way up.  When we got to Fresno, Janice and Benji picked us up and took us back to their house.  Luckily, Adam and Carin were able to get away from work for a while to have lunch with us.

When they left we walked to the park to let the boys spend some energy.

Then it was back to the train station for the ride home.  Nash slept most of the ride back.  Thank you Grama Jo for the awesome train ride and thank you Stirrups for an awesome afternoon.  So good to see you all again!
