today brooke's preschool went on a field trip to the transportation museum and for once i was able to go (thanks angie and jami for helping me out). we had such a good time. it's amazing to look around and really ponder how much transportation has evolved in the last 100 years. i don't think that i would have enjoyed some of the earlier forms. such as the wooden train cars and the stage coach's that just looked so unbearably lacking in comfort and hot. the saddest thing we saw was a little white horse drawn hearse with small windows meant to carry children. i think the scariest was an early school bus fashioned much like an old milk truck. i can't even imagine sending my kiddos off to school in that thing!! i took a few pictures, but the lighting was pretty bad so only a few are really worth posting.
the kids enjoyed the museum so much! they couldn't climb\touch everything but they were able to climb onto a lot of it and push buttons without anyone telling them to stop!! every kids dream!! this was a model t and they had period clothing that the kids could put on and pretend to drive.
i love this picture because brooke and her friend torri are smiling at each other under the brims of their hats.
this old fire truck was amazing to me. i can't even imagine trying to fight a fire effectively with it. especially when you compare it to the modern day ones. huge difference!
and this sheriff's car was great!! it reminded me so much of the andy griffith show which i loved as a kid!
brooke and i standing by the wheel of a train. it's amazing how big and tall they are.

It was a fun fieldtrip. The kids did like it so much. It is amazing to think about how the people back then got from place to place. We are so spoiled.
That last pic of you two is SO good! That is a pretty fun museum. Glad you got to go!
Lily is always welcome at our house. =) That museum sounds great. I will definitely have to check it out with my kids over spring break. The pictures are adorable!
Sounds like fun, where is it?
hey jandi - it's the forney transportation museum down by the coliseum. so much fun!
I think Deacon would really enjoy that, but he would have to touch and ride everything! Glad you were able to go.
I love the last picture with you and brooke. It is so cute. We need to go to that place sometime! I also love that brooke is so good at cutting hair!
