Outings with Grandson



When we babysat our oldest grandson for a few days while his parents celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary and a birthday, we took him on an outing each day. Here are just a few pictures from those outings.
Day number one when we picked him up and took him to the local Children’s Museum. He got in the tornado tube with grandfather. The wind gradually increases to hurricane force. There all sorts of displays about sound and waves and vibration to play around with there too.


Day two was to the construction site at the park. They have temporarily drained the lake where the ducks live and are digging it deeper and installing an aeration system to keep it cleaner. It was actually a fairly mild day but very windy to we kept our hoods on. He got to watch a dump truck being filled with the dirt. 



I don’t have any pictures from the third day but we visited the old train depot and the train museum. He liked the wooden train table for the kids the best and spent time playing with the trains there. We also visited the model train set-up in the attic of the building and got a demonstration there. Grandfather has a small model train track in our basement that they play with and a variety of engines and cars to use.
