- 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 |
