Birthday Party
Saturday, April 21st, 2007

-
 
It's another typical Birthday Party,
with cake, hotdogs and chips...
-
 
soft drinks and Birthday gifts. That's the Birthday Boy in the
trainman's hat with his younger brother by his side.
But what's this?
-
 
Train rides? This is not an ordinary Birthday Party!
(I operate the train in "push" mode so I can see the passengers.)
-
 
Wave to Grandpa. Oh there's a ton of grandkids here today.
These girls are twins, and cousins.
(Sometimes I ride backwards in "pull" mode.)
-
 
The children got to ride almost all afternoon.
(The cameraman is a twin. His twin was at a rocket launch.)
-
 
On his birthday he gets to learn how to be the engineer,
then he gets to do his first solo run.
You won't see a happier guy. Who can blame him!
-

Big sister also rides the locomotive (for better traction).
-
 
Sisters are good for some things, you know.
-
 
Now for the real test - Taking Mom and Dad for a ride!
What a great day this has been. -- Bill
