Trains, History, and God

Today we drove into the city to the Botanical Gardens for the Christmas train show. We have made it an annual visit because Keagan has always been a train enthusiast. However, it was Evan that was the most impressed this year. With his little digital camera, he took a picture of every single leaf, bush, and flower. This year's theme is Childhood Stories and it is more elaborate and detailed than any of the past. It was well worth the wait in the cold; even Wes agreed it was a good idea to visit again. 


We also made a stop at the National Archives to see the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. This has been on our to-do list for five years, and we couldn't believe our luck when we arrived and found such a short wait! When I asked the boys what they had learned during their visit to the vault, Keagan responded with the default answer, the answer that works for almost every situation except a visit to the National Archives. His answer: "God."
