Wall-E Buddies

The movie Wall-E has been big around the Tot Spot lately. Brock was so excited to see his buddy Pierce show up in his Wall-E tshirt the other day. Brock couldnt' get his shirt on fast enough that morning so they could both have one on.

Pierce will be spending 2 nights with us this next week while his parents are on vacation. Brock asks me at least once a day about Pierce staying. He can't wait for it.

A great day for the zoo

I love our zoo. It is just awesome. We enjoy trips there with the Tot Spot kids or just as a family. It is open year round and has many indoor and outdoor animal displays to enjoy.

Train Museum

On Wednesdays and Fridays I only have two other kids to watch. These days are nice because it gives us the opportunity to get out of the house and take some trips. We all know Brock is an avid train fan and one of his favorite places to visit is the Durham Western Heritage Museum in Omaha. We went a few weeks ago with Pierce and Josh, who also like trains I'm sure because so many of our toys here at home are trains.

I don't know why it looks like only Brock was having fun in this picture! Pierce and Josh were too, I swear!

The conductor sits on the train and gives you a "ticket" when you come in. He tells you a little history of the station and the train cars and then punches your ticket when he is done.

At the end of going through all of the trains.

Enjoying the view from one of the streetcars on display.

Pumping water from the well

A little popcorn snack at the soda fountain when we were finished looking at the trains.
