I just can't resist celebrating Boxing Day and my dudes are more than open to whatever that means. This year we decided to take Caleb to NorthPark Mall to see the Ronald McDonald House train display. Y'all, it rocked.
Even though the crowds would rival any Canadian mall on the 26th, which I wasn't expecting, the adventure to find parking was fun for our dude. I have lamented for years that we moved from Canada right before I was old enough to venture out with my Mom and the ladies on their Boxing Day excursions...but I really felt like I was experiencing it with my boys! Of course we weren't there to shop and that was just fine with me.
Caleb's eyes positively lit up when he saw the Thomas train! Mine lit up when we saw the Canadian Pacific train...Brian will say they were all his favourite. He hoisted the dude on his shoulders and they had a blast talking trains. We also had to take a potty break half-way through which took us right past the Aunt Annie's Pretzel Shop...with a viewing window. I can't say for sure which Caleb enjoyed more, the trains or watching the pretzel ladies...
It was marvelous!
Happy Belated Boxing Day!
