Planes, Trains, & Automobiles

My boys are obsessed with things that move. When I say obsessed I mean obsessed. Josiah spent our entire flight from Seattle to Philadelphia looking out the window and talking about the wings, the jets, the clouds, ect. Ya, like I said obsessed.


So when we got back to the states and found the old wooden train set just sitting there waiting to be played with, they were SUPER excited. They have spent hours setting up elaborate track systems, long trains and tunnels. One of their favorite activities is to build a big track and then have an "accident" otherwise known as "destruction time". Train tracks go flying, trains end up toppled and across the room, in terms of disasters it is major.


While in IKEA the other day I spotted more of these wooden trains. See, the company that originally makes them, Brio. Is sadly out of business and hard to find, but now they have similar ones at IKEA and they match! Plus they aren't too expensive! So now we can buy more trains and even take some back overseas with us! Woo-hoo!!! What are you waiting for?! Haul buns to IKEA and get yourself some wooden trains. We promise loads of entertainment value, not to mention we'll be stopping by to visit!
