Today we took a little Pre-Labor Day field trip to the Arkansas Railroad Museum in Pine Bluff. We have wanted to take Trey there for a while now and it just seemed like the perfect time to go. The funny thing is that the girls enjoyed it about as much as Trey :)
This is the first thing that we saw when we walked in!
Of course neither of us knew what it was, but thankfully it had a sign underneath it that described it was a Gin Stand End. Robert Munger of Texas invented it in the 1880's. Don't know if we're related or not, but it's not often that you see Munger anywhere :)
The girls by one of the train cars...Trey was so excited he just couldn't stand still long enough for me to take his picture!
He liked the cabin train (not sure the technical term!)
Again, T was missing
Passenger train
Now, I have all three of them :)

Trey got to "drive" the Thomas train set. He
had it going pretty fast, so Thomas is just a blur
in this picture!

of the trains.

Makena found a fire truck too!
Obviously, this is the wrong phone to go in this booth, but
the kids loved playing in it. They shut me in and I couldn't get
out, and started to panic a little. They were laughing at me too!
Meanies!!
Carl by his Munger thingy!
After we left the RR Museum we headed over to
the Nature Center, but first we stopped at Regional
Park and had a little picnic.
Very fun day so far :)
