The Second Annual Blackwell-Cissell Train Show

This weekend the annual train show came back into town. Sophia really enjoyed herself this year. However, now she knows how to say those precious words, "I want that", and says them over and over and over. It was a lot of fun though. I wish that I had been feeling better. I would have been a lot more lively. Sophia walked away with several new Thomas trains. She got James (a bright red engine) and James' tinder car, 2 aquarium cars (one has a shark and the other a squid floating in them), a cow freight car that moos when you open and close the door and then the milk car that has a huge jar of milk you can put in and out of the car. She loves playing with them. Thanks for a good time Pardie!!



This year Sophia was much more interested in seeing the trains but she is still too short to see most of them without being held. But carrying 22 pounds around for a couple hours is not easy. My cold was beginning to escalate and I really needed a tiny break. God bless the woman selling Tootsie Roll pops. It made a mess but was sure worth the 20 minutes I got out of it. It was by far the best 25 cents I have spent in a long time. Poor woman. If only she would have known I would have paid 5 times that amount. She could have made a killing. Maybe I can sell them next year and turn a profit. Hummmm.....

Before the secret weapon......

After...
It's magic.

***Take notes Aunt Julia***

My favorite train. Pardie says it probably cost a fortune. I knew I had good taste.

It is now flashback time. Since it is our Second Annual Train show, I thought I would compare with pictures from the first.

I am constantly in awe of how much she's grown.

Crazy that the hat now fits. Looks like she had a great time. Thanks for all the hints. I will remember the lolly pops.

Oh- I like her haircut. You can really see her beautiful blue eyes.
