Train station and skate park

Our town is a railroad town.


Any Newtonian knows that there are many times you have to wait a long time for a train at the railroad crossing.  I have learned to put a book or magazine in the car to read while waiting for the trains.






When the kids came for Thanksgiving, Al wanted to take the grandkids downtown to see a train up close.






 In Japan, our trains were mostly passenger trains and only 3 to 5 cars long.  I can remember the shock of how long the trains were here in America.  It is not uncommon to see freight trains with almost 100 cars!


There is a skate park by the railroad station and Sophia asked if we could go.  Perfect since the kids had brought along their scooters.








 A little park beside it too.  Such fun!


Hannah told us it was the BEST DAY EVER after Winterjam (the concert her daddy took them too).

A definite big hit with them and we will have to plan to go again!
