We had a great weekend in the Valley with Grandma and Grandpa Shreeve and Uncle Brandon and Aunt Brindi. We spent Saturday at the McCormick Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale, AZ. Although smaller than I thought it would be, it was every little boy's dream park. 
This is looking down the hallway inside the above train's passenger car. I couldn't belive how small the rooms are compared to the movies that make them look huge! This train car was the president's car. Wow! I have a lot of pictures of the rooms, but there are too many. The woodwork and mouldings in this place are amazing! We have never seen such tiny toilets!
The Whole Family!
We all got to ride on this tiny little steam engine around the park and through a tunnel.
Evan was very afraid of the carousel, but he loved this train ride and had to toot his train whistle every time the conductor tooted his. So cute!
The best part about this park was how inexpensive it was to have so much fun. Park admission is free. The train ride is $2 per person. The carousel and train tour are $1 a person (kids are free for the tour). Not pictured is the carousel, playground, mini train towns that are amazing!, shops, and lookout towers, and other buildings. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a cheap family adventure!
After the park, the grandparents graciously took the kids so we could go watch a movie. It was a much needed break from the kids. Although Seven Pounds is a VERY sad movie, and I wouldn't recommend seeing it in the theatre.
With all the Thomas the Train tracks and engines, our house is looking like Grand Central station! Evan is in heaven!

Oh my gosh - Kason would be in HEAVEN there!!! We're going to have to take him!!
Our boys would have so much fun together. Izzy is all about trains and our house is quickly becoming a depot. Izzy was also freaked out by the carousel.
