Ghost Train

We rode the Ghost Train at Burke Lake with Katharine, Steve, and Holden's buddy Owen. We had a great time, partly because we got there early and beat the crowd. We heard one Dad tell his kids still waiting in line as we were leaving that it was probably going to be at least an hour until their turn. We smiled and patted ourselves on the back since we're not usually an up & at 'em early kind of family. Guess we will be from now on...or at least try!
Holden & Owen. He wasn't a fan of the fur around his face.

All Aboard!

We saw Bob the Builder along the way, amongst others

Later that night we celebrated neighbor Shreyes' 2nd birthday with a dinner party of homemade Indian food. We all thought it was delicious, especially Holden who helped himself to 2 plates full.

Stride Rite of Passage

I wore Stride Rite, my brothers wore Stride Rite, my neices wore Stride Rite, and now it is Holden's turn. Grammy took us for the tradition of buying the first real pair of shoes after we got his 1 year pictures done. The sales clerk even took a picture with the store camera and mounted it on a keepsake card. They had me at Hello.

Blue or Brown?
