Avonleah's fascination with trains is still alive and well! When visiting "Boo Boo Grandma's (my mom)" house and getting to experience the Heber Valley Railroad passing right behind her house on a daily basis, Avonleah has held the dream of getting to be a real train conductor someday. Every once in awhile I get ambitious, pull out the tub full of trains and track pieces, and attempt to put together some great track layout. Of course trying to get it just right while fending off the helpfulness of a two year old usually results in some hack job figure 8 tracks that doesn't quite click together perfectly and causes the train to jump off course occassionally! We have lots of fun starting our trains at different spots on the track and then trying tot get them to cross by each other without hitting one another, this usually results in riotous laughter and several bossy attempts of "stop", "go", "stop", "now go" commands from Avonleah. We love these GeoTrax sets that were given to us as a present, the remote control feature is so much fun.
