Off to the model train show!

We finally had a Saturday to ourselves this weekend so we decided to take the kids into the model railway show that was in town, in the city for the afternoon. We live about an hour out of the city. Clubs from all over Melbourne showed some great displays, they had some great second hand stalls and Jason got some fantastic ideas. Suprising we also saw our stake president and our high councilman, plus other church members there!!! Must be a great hobby. There was a clear absence of any women, with the population at the displays being most retired men with their club jackets. Jason wants to be one one day - he can't wait to retire and play trains all day!!!!! Jacob does that now!!! He plays with his Thomas track daily! I have no idea what he'd do without it!



One of Brooklyn's friends, Talmage, from Primary who also loves Thomas the tank engine!
Charlotte couldn't have cared less and slept on the way there and the way back!
Cheese!
The kids actually got to drive this one themselves. The Thomas the Tank Engine set up! It was great. They all had a go!

This circus display was fantastic! we sttod there for ages, even had little people on the trapieze and in the big top!
It was a great afternoon! It's nice to set time aside to do something together every now and then.
