Dominick's Day

Okay, as a parent you know your kids will not always like (or obsess) over the same things. So, we pick days for our kids - but by default both kids get to come! Today was Dominick's Day! We'll have to see how Dominick reacts to the "American Doll" store on Kambree's Day:)! Aaron rides the train every day to work and back but Dominick asks every day if he can ride on the train too. So on this Saturday the big workshop/hub of the Metro North Railroad was having an open house with lots of activities, scenic train rides, food and fun.

It was perfect weather, and gorgeous scenery as we rode along the Hudson River and awesome TRAINS!!! Dominick could not contain his excitement and was going crazy. We had to see everything and when we left Dominick cried to stay longer. Now, anytime we ask what he wants to do or where they want to go he says "to the big train station." He doesn't understand that it was a one time deal - poor kid. Maybe next year!
This was Dominick on the train ride pulling the horn.
This was the funniest little robot. There was a couple of guys working it's actions, but over behind a car was a man talking into a microphone that came out of the robot all robot sounding. It was hilarious to watch the kids as he said things to them - they really thought he was alive. Dominick is giving his best robot impression too!
This was Dominick pretty much all day!
Dominick loves diesel engines and this was the biggest one in the building. His face is a little down, because he wanted to go inside this train but we were not allowed.
This had to have been the longest toy train track -it ran the entire length of a commuter train. The kids stood watching these forever.
