Riding the Dallas Train

On the twins first "Leap Day" (February 29th), we had a bunch of other firsts.

The biggest and best was obviously the birth of Baby George. Here is the little guy on this three week birthday. (He should still be one week from his big jail break.)
Before we went to the hospital to visit, we stopped off at In 'N' Out Burger for lunch. Neither I or the kids had ever been. I've good things about the place for years and was happy when they finally made it to Dallas. I always wanted to check it out.
As I wrote about before, that night, Caroline slept in a big girl bed for the first time. Successfully, I might add.
After our first visit to the hospital and before Caroline went to bed, we rode the Dallas train for the first time. We used it to get from my mom's house to the hospital. There was a nearby train station that went directly to the hospital. The train ride was going to take 45 minutes...which might have been even faster than if we drove. It took us an hour and fifteen minutes to return from the hospital in the early afternoon.

Both kids were very excited when we told them we were going to ride a train. Here is Caroline waiting for the train to leave the station.
Caden was excited right up until we got on the train. Then, for some reason, he got nervous and wanted to get off. He did warm up to the ride after a few minutes (and pacifier) later.
Caroline, Mommy, and puppy, started out on one bench while Caden and I were on another.
But soon after we left the station, both twins ended up next to me. I thought that was great! Amy was also happy about the seating.
Caroline wanted to make sure her puppy got to see everything out the window. She was very concerned about that.
We were a little worried about taking the train but we loved it! If we lived in Dallas, we'd definitely use the train. We are already trying to think of reasons to take the train again. Like to the Dallas zoo. Austin should really take note. The train system here is mostly worthless.
