Entertrainment Junction

Well, part I of Dawson's big birthday celebration was a trip to Entertrainment Junction.  This is a fun place to visit in West Chester, down near Cincinnati.  We have been there more than once, but never with a kid so obsessed with trains.  It has the largest indoor train display, a child's play area with multiple trains and we were also able to visit Santa.  

We had such a great time watching the train display.  Dawson loved pushing the buttons to move the trains or hear train noises.  He loved watching the trains on the roundhouse.

The coal car was a huge hit.  The kids spent plenty of time using the shovels to pick up coal and put it in the train.

Ava and Dawson rode the little kid train.  Hey look, it's Aunt Patty in the background! 

 Here is Carter on this exact train ride!

Boy, I used to spend a lot of time editing my pictures.  I really don't have that kind of time now, but I love how they look!

Thanks Aunt Patty for taking this picture!

I just wished we could have gotten you in it too!

We also went to see Santa.  The kids sat on his lap with no screaming this year!  Dawson was a little hesitant, but he stood in front of Santa.

Dawson was so intent and serious while staring at the trains.  He wanted to look inside and under the trains to check out exactly how they worked.  I loved making my boy happy, and he was in seventh heaven this day!
