Why I love Saturdays.....

Saturdays are "Mommy & Me" days. I always try to do something fun and interesting with the kids. Today was definitely fun. I took them to the Model Train & Toy show. My son has loved trains since he was a baby - and of course, my daughter being the second - would rather play with her brother's trains than most of her own toys. So I knew this was going to be a good call. It's amazing all of the different things that are available for the avid collector. And all so life like!

This particular event drew a rather interesting crowd, to say the least. Some very....eccentric type people there. Let's just say that although I always make the kids hold my hands - I made sure that they didn't even think about straying from my side.

And what's really nice about this particular location where it was at - was that the food was great! They featured home made foods as well as the average pizza, chicken fingers and hot dogs. Some of my chickie's favorites were there -- home made clam chowder, chili, Shepherds Pie, Chop Suey, Baked Macaroni and Cheese. So I didn't mind so much them eating out because it wasn't just junk.

Admission was free for them - and they loved it. It doesn't have to cost a million dollars to keep the kids happy, which is always a great thing for me!
