Alexandria Zoo Train

It is so funny how a child changes your thoughts.  The first thought I had about going to the zoo is “I wonder what the train will be like?”  To our great enjoyment, the train was awesome and Joseph loved the whole experience of meeting the conductor, responding to his call “ALL ABOARD”, and simply just watching the train drive by!

When we first arrived, the train was leaving the depot.  Joseph waved to the conductor and looked forward to having his chance to ride after exploring the zoo.

Upon hearing the conductor holler “All aboard”, Joseph began running to be the first in line to give him his ticket!

Train Ride (two times).  It was worth the $3 to give Jessy and Joseph another ride on the train!!!

There are moments in time that you want to freeze time and save in your heart, the joy of this time is really our blessing! 

In all the behavior struggles of late, it is this happy boy that matters and why we do all we do to help him know what, who, and why the important moments are really the treasures our heart seeks.
