Jackson Street Roundhouse

We went to the Minnesota Transportation Museum today. Let me just say that Louie was in sensory overload for the full 2.5 hours that we were there. He could hardly contain himself.
He loved every minute of it!






While walking around and checking out all of the old train memorbilia, I found this hanging on the wall back in a corner. It was really cool. A poster for the St. Paul Winter Carnival dated January 17, 1887. The poster had been used in Green Bay, Wisconsin and listed the train times, etc. to get from Green Bay to Saint Paul, it took almost 11 hours by train.

There's a bunch of old trains that kids can be the engineer on.

This was an old engine that Emily and Louie were pretending to drive.

The only way that we were getting Louie out of that place, after we went on our train ride around the train yard was to bribe him with french fries. He wanted them fast as it was way past lunch time.
We stopped at White Castle. Emily and Louie LOVED it. They both ate two cheeseburgers and a small french fry. When we got home, he sat down right inside the front door and drained my Coke Zero.

Last night, we watched the Little Einstein's Big Huge Adventure. Lou was really excited to eat fish sticks in the living room in front of the TV. It is one way to get him to eat everything on his plate.
