My Son and His Little Choo Choo Adventure (Photo Essay)

My middle son was one of the train drawing winners for the contest held in the Amtrak group here on Gather. He was pleased as punch that he won and was even more excited when he saw the big priority box on our porch that our mail lady left for us.

Inside was....

Little Choo Choo. Inside the box was a puzzle track set that you could put together, a book, little cut outs and of course...a train! My son wanted to dig in immediately.

It was here that he realized he hadn't put the track together correctly (the train would run off) so he started again, with big brother coming in to watch and offer advice.

Ready to put the train on the tracks

Everyone loved this fun playset. Thanks Gather! :)

My kids love theirs too!

Awww, the kids had so much fun with that little train! It's so cute too when its driving around all over the track. I kind of wanted to play with it too but of course, the boys would have gotten upset if I'd tried to get in on the action too though! So now I am going to be forced to sneak and get it out to play with! heehee
