The first Wednesday at the Museum of Science and Tech

Every Wednesday and Sunday from 10-3 you can ride the Shea locomotive at the museum. It goes without saying that this is a HUGE deal for Monkey and Big C. They go every single Wednesday. I (Saje) took today off to enjoy the great summer weather and we went to the museum.

This is Monkey and I waiting for the train. Daddy and Big C in the cupola. The new girl tried to tell us that she didn't think that people are allowed to ride up there. We explained that we are allowed, we're sure. We've done it about 50 times. Up we went.

Somehow at the end of the first ride (yes, there was more than one!) Daddy managed to get himself and the two boys up with the engineer. Big C was in such awe he couldn't even speak or dare to try and move.
We asked if we could put a penny on the tracks before the train came by.
Then we rode the train and this is what happened to our penny. Cool!

We went on a tour of the lighthouse. We got to climb all the way inside. Ask Monkey about the single (energy efficient fluorescent) light bulb that is lighting up the whole thing. It's pretty cool.
The rugby player in me couldn't resist tackling two little running buddies and tickling them until they gave in!!
First I jumped Monkey, then big C jumped us.
What a great day. Walking back hand in hand with my two of my three best guys.
