Lake Whatcom Railway

I get so worried about having my posts in order, that then I get so behind because I feel like I can't post new things until I get all the old ones done!  So I am going to accept that at this phase of our life, I don't care if they out of order, as long as they are on here!  :)
 
Kameron has to wear an eye patch for 4 hours a day over his right eye, in order to make his left eye work harder and eventually get stronger.  So we have created a chart for him where he puts a sticker on a chart for every hour he does the patch.  For every 15 hours, he earns some type of reward.  He's earned a trip out for ice cream, a trip to the arcade to use some quarters out of his piggy bank and his latest reward was a train ride.  We normally wouldn't do something this big for a reward, but Travis had found a deal on a travel site that we were planning on taking them on anyways, so we made it his eye patch reward.  :) 
 
We had such a great day.  The boys were beyond excited to ride the train and it was so fun watching them explore everything.  They had a banjo player that walked around the car playing and singing classic songs.  We had such gorgeous weather and the temperature was perfect. 

 


We rode for about 20 minutes, and then they dropped everyone off for a while to go check out a waterfall and people could drive this train cart on the tracks.  The boys thought this was really fun!




We had a great family day and it's so fun being able to do more of these types of the things now that the boys are getting a little bit older and appreciate it so much!
