Matthew & Spencer love trains. They love to play with their train layouts and their ride-on train. They love to watch the BNSF Freight Trains and the Metrolink passenger trains that regularly cruise through town.

Here, Matthew helped Spencer ride their train on the patio.

Our family has a membership to the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, California. On weekends, OERM runs electric cars and diesel engines pulling cabooses and other cars. Matthew loves to ride up in the top of the caboose. Here, Matthew, Pop-Pop, Spencer, and Daddy enjoy a ride.

 

     

In November, OERM hosted Thomas the Tank Engine for two weekends. On Saturday, November 9, we went so Matthew and Spencer could meet one of their heroes, Thomas. Grandpa Bob is holding Spencer while we wait to ride on Thomas. Afterward, we took some photos with Thomas. Matthew was a little reluctant to meet Sir Tophamhat (far right) even though he had talked about it for months. Daddy and Spencer helped Matthew find the courage to take a photo with Sir Tophamhat.
