Thank you Gather and Amtrak, I just showed the article....and the prize to the boys, and they are both very excited. Roshane is very proud that he won a prize.
Due to how much fun Gideon had making his nature train, he's asked to make more since his first one. It's now a regular playtime thing at our house to make nature trains!
I just told Gideon he won and showed him the train he's getting. He is so excited especially since THURSDAY is our REAL trip on the Amtrack! What a wonderful surprise!
I will be sure to post an essay of Gideon and his new train set!
Thanks again GATHER and ALL ABOARD!
