Quinn and I made a quick trip to Maryland on Monday. Today mom, Pam, Quinn, and I headed to a local park/playground for a picnic and some exercise.

All Aboard!
On Saturday we enjoyed the beautiful day and visited New Hope, PA which is right on the NJ – PA state line. It was a quaint little town with lots of funky shops and restaurants right on the river. But our main reason for visiting was to ride the New Hope Railroad.
The train is leaving the station — wow it\’s loud!
Choo Choo!
There goes the train.
Hey, that train left without us!
We were a couple of minutes late for the noon train, so we grabbed a quick bite to eat at the Blue Tortilla restaurant.
Here comes our train.
All Aboard!
Checking out the view. Quinn was entertained by the train ride for all of about 15 seconds. Good thing we got him this little train to play with.
Now that\’s a natural smile 🙂
In order to change directions, the engine would disengage from one end of the train and move to the other end and engage again. Here\’s the engine moving to the \”front\” of the train at the station.
Don and Quinn watching the train \”hitching up\”.
And my favorite photo of the day.
Quinn was Outside
We played this game before. How do I know he was playing outside? Let me show you…
…muddy boots
…lawn mower filled with bubble juice and ready to blow
…airplane filled with bubble juice and ready to fly
…dump truck ready to haul some rocks around
…sand toys ready to snap in to action.
Action! Haul some sand!
Blow some bubbles!
Dig some dirt! Whoops! That happens to be the area where Don prepped the yard and put down grass seed.
Yes, Quinn was here and he had a great time!
