Hill Country Flyer

This past Saturday the boys rode the Hill Country Flyer for the very first time as a way to celebrate James and John's birthdays. I've never been on it either but Brian went as a child. We are so blessed that almost Brian's entire side of the family (sorry you couldn't make it Aunt Sarah) was able to spend the day with us. We packed the boys lots of snacks and toys to play with since it took right at two hours to travel from Cedar Park to Burnet. We at lunch at a little Mexican restaurant not too far from the train station and then walked down to the town square. It was sad to see that many of the shops and restaurants on the square were closing down. Thankfully we did find a little shop that sold ice-cream so the boys got a treat before getting back on the train for the ride home. Poor John was wiped out from several days of little to no nap so he quickly fell asleep on the ride home. After dinner, we went back to MaMaw's house to eat cake and open presents. Thank you all for the wonderful learning computer, games, swim clothes, books, movies and Wii party game. Here are some pictures from the day.
