Homeschooling with Dad — The Train Museum

The Computer Guy and I recently took the three youngest children to the Oklahoma City Train Museum.  We tried to bring the older children too, but I don’t have the kind of money it would have taken to bribe them into being pleasant while climbing through old train cars on in extreme summer heat.  #5 is three and loves trains more than anything.   It was more my husband’s outing with the children.  I just came along for the ride.

and all about that little doo-hicky thing that connects the wheels.  (See how well I listen?)

He put pennies on the tracks which the trains ran over and flattened.

I said stupid things like “Hey.  There’s a wagon.” and then took a picture of it with the color setting all wrong.

Oh, and I carried the baby around in his sling.

Then the baby got hot and I said it was time to go.

Which made everybody happy.

At last I could help.  Bribery with a giant lemonade.

and there was peace in the car.

Oh, there was one other person at the train museum.  The Computer Guy brought her along.  Have I mentioned that I hate her?  I have?  Good.
