Eggstravaganza

This past Sunday, Cori and I took Andy to a local Easter egg hunt, dubbed "Eggstravaganza." Eggs were "hidden" throughout three soccer fields, and after the horn blew, the kids were turned loose!

Andy needed a bit of coaching at first, but still managed to gather a few eggs...

After the hunt concluded (after about 5 minutes), Andy got a quick tour of one of his favorite things... a fire truck! Andy & I posed for a picture on the back bumper - I am saying "Cheese!" and he is not. Go figure.

He then wanted to visit the famous Easter Bunny as seen above. Much to our surprise, he was a big fan. He first gave the bunny five as he left and then a big hug!

Train Show

Yesterday morning, Andy and I went to the "World's Greatest Hobby on Tour" train show in downtown KC, MO, or as Andy might describe it, "Heaven." There were many intricate model trains running throughout the exhibition hall, which lead to a lot of pointing....

Our favorite exhibit was an extremely long freight train, that slowly chugged along the track (thus it was continually referred to as the "Slow Train" for the rest of the day). The track was only a foot or so off the ground, which allowed for a close look...

In addition to the model trains, there was a play area set up with 100+ Thomas the Train toys and tents. Andy, as usual, enjoyed the toy trains. He emphatically wanted to make sure I saw the "milk" tanker car...

We topped off the outing with a quick bite to eat at McDonald's - Andy loves those chicken McNuggets (but not as much as trains)!

All in all, it was a great time!
