Our Memorial Day

Todd worked at the railroad on Monday.  The steam engine always makes it's seasonal debut on Memorial Weekend.

The kids and I were working on the yard when Todd called and said that he would be engineering.

We dropped everything and headed down to the depot.

Hannah was very excited to see her dad "drive" the train.

It was a BIG moment for our family, especially Todd.



It still amazes me that this very train sat in the park just blocks from our house and was played on by children for decades.
To think that it is now operational is quite the accomplishment!

Afterwards, the kids and I visited the cemetary.  I was pleased with all the questions that Matthew and Hannah were asking about Memorial Day.

Thank you to all who serve this great country.
