Rio Vista Train Museum and Pumpkin Fesitval

A couple weekends ago Katie suggested we take a trip out to the Rio Vista train museum to ride a train and go out to a "pumpkin patch".  I say "pumpkin patch" because when we got there, there was no pumpkin patch in sight.  BUT it was a small draw back to a fun day!
We got to the train museum right when it opened.  Of course they had a Thomas the train, table and trains for the kiddos to play with, so we burned a half hour watching Elijah play. He now LOVES "Choo Choo's".  We then got on a restored, probably 1940's train and took it about 3 miles down to the pumpkin festival.
Elijah got to run in a hay maze, look at ponies (because I wouldn't pay $6 to find out if he would actually ride it or not) and pet farm animals in a petting zoo.  The best (or maybe worst) was a little basket of bunnies. I picked on up for Elijah to pet, which he did, then proceed to reach in to the basket and pick one up himself....by the ears!  This other mom watched it happened and after I plucked the bunny away from him and gently set it back in the basket, the other mom lightly stroked it, like my kid had done it harm. oh well. it was kind of funny (and no bunnies were hurt in this episode).
Here are some great pictures from our day. Thanks Katie for taking us to the trains!
