Marcus' first train ride

Curtis and I decided to take him on his first train ride. Marcus absolutely loves the fairly new PBS show "Dinosaur Train." There is a short train ride from Grover Beach to SLO so we hopped on that one to see what he would think of a real train experience. Needless to say, he had a blast and wanted to run through each train compartment. We got him to stay close to the seats long enough to take these pictures...

Here he is waiting for the "conductor." He kept on saying, "where's the conductor." For those of you not familiar with the "Dinosaur Train" show, there is a conductor which is a dinosaur that comes around to punch your ticket...he says "tickets please." That is one of Marcus' favorite parts of the show....


He has just spotted the "conductor" in this shot below...

Here he is below, so excited to have his ticket!!!! He held on to that ticket right up until nap time. He, of course, recovered it once he woke up...
