Model Trains, Toy Trains and Real Trains

Saturday, there was a free event at the Civil War and Locomotive History Museum in Kennesaw.  Since I wasn't sure what the museum had to offer for kids, I thought this would be the best opportunity to try it out.  Even if our stay was short, it didn't cost a thing.  No big deal.  We left daddy at home to work in the woods burning briars and headed out for a morning adventure with trains!
Walking through the train car outside the museum.  Trenton said, "This thing is old!"  Climbing on the foam train in the kids' section of the museum.
Bennett enjoyed playing with the train table.  We really need to build ours back.  It got messed up by our cousin Hutch over Thanksgiving and Daddy hasn't put it together again.  Maybe this weekend we can convince him. 
 Make yourself at home, boys!  They laid right out in the middle of the floor to watch the train video.
From whistles and chugs to brakes and crossings, Bennett had fun discovering the sounds trains make.  Follow the railroad track.  Where will it take us?
To a great big train!!!  Seeing the enormous General (that was stolen from the Yankees during the Civil War) was breathtaking!  It was shiny and huge!  Trenton ran right by it, but Bennett stopped for a stare.  Green means go, red means stop and yellow means caution.  Time to play again!
After the museum, we played at the playground across the street.  In no time at all, a train passed by.  The boys ran to the fence to watch.
