Today we punished ourselves and went to the park of dreams in 100 degree weather. Luckily we had a chance to cool off during a 15 minute train ride through the park. The train is called the J&S Express. It was created in the memory of Washington State Trooper James E. Saunders who was tragically killed in the line of duty on October 7, 1999, in Pasco, Washington.
It's great fun for the kids and at .50 for kids and $1.00 for adults it's a great deal. Gage was asked if he wanted to sit up front with the conductor and blow the whistle, he of course said, Yes! His smile stretched across his face so wide that it looks like his eyes are closed in the picture (top.) Hudson had a blast and continually yelled out, "Hey Buddy, go faster." I wouldn't be lying if I said that I was a little white knuckle on this kiddie ride. I honestly thought we might tip over with some of the tight turns and everytime we hit a bump (every .2 seconds) I thought that the little cars might become unconnected. Hudson of course loved it all. If the conductor had driven us straight into the river, Hudson would have cheered louder.
