Okay, so I have to admit, even I was getting a little worried about fulfilling the promise I made to Brandon about taking him on a train ride this summer. I make it a point to never, ever, break my promises to the kids, but after a more than a hectic spring which included me being off of work for 5 weeks due to a broken ankle, followed by an even more hectic/busy summer, plagued with the summer flu and other illnesses, our annual trip to the beach in July was even in question, let alone an extra trip....we had already had a very, very busy summer planned, how on earth was I going to fit another "out of town trip" into our very busy schedules????, and with only 5 days before school started, well I am proud to say WE DID IT!!!!

I am very, very glad we did too, we all had a wonderful time! This was Brianna's first trip to the zoo, Brandon's first that he can remember, as this is the first time we have been since he was 10 months old...and BONUS Gram was here to get to enjoy it with us!

The train ride was phenomenal for the little kids, especially Brandon and hey I got to keep my promise, whehhhhh was that a close one!!!!!!
