Daniel's Dream Backyard

Yesterday Daniel got to visit what I can only describe as his "dream backyard." My parent's good friends the Sylvesters have awesome train tracks set up in their backyard and were preparing to host the local train club for the afternoon. They graciously invited Daniel over to take a look at the trains earlier that morning.


Yep, you are seeing correctly- the train tracks are embedded in the deck!


Chasing the train.


Daniel was very sad to leave the Sylvester's but they lessened the blow by presenting Daniel with a very special "Shell" oil tanker train. When Daniel woke up from his nap that afternoon, I found the train in bed with him!

Wow! This is way cooler than what mom described to me! They should rent out their backyard for kids parties!

That is unbelievable. What dedication to trains. Love it! Daniel must have been ecstatic.

It was so fun to visit Art's backyard train set-up and to witness Daniel's unbridled joy as he ran back and forth. What a child's delight!
