A Visit from Grandpa

My Dad was in Sacramento on Friday for business and decided to extend his day trip and come stay with us overnight. Carson loves his Grandpa Kelley. He went to him right away and led him by the hand everywhere. He always made sure that Grandpa was going where ever we were going. Carson had him on a very tight leash. Today we had quite the day. We spent an hour this morning at Chuck E. Cheese. Carson had never been and thought it was pretty cool.
Playing a little basket ball. It's not cheating, right?

After Chuck E. Cheese we went to the Western Railway Museum in Rio Vista. They have a large variety of old trains and street cars. They also do train rides. The train ride was about 15 minutes long and dropped us off at a pumpkin patch. The Fairfield Rotary Club during the month of October is putting it on and today was opening day. There were games, a giant hay castle, a bounce house, pony rides, BBQ. It was really fun. For all my local friends I highly recommend taking your kids on a Saturday this month. They add a $2 fee to your museum admission price, but it is totally worth it.

I'm so glad dad was able to visit. Sounds like a great time for all. Loved the picture of Carson in his costume dad sent on his phone. Can't wait until you send a real one!

That looks like fun! I want to take my kids there! I've heard about the train museum in Rio Vista but I've never been.

We were just looking at going to the train museum in our newsletter. Good to know the pumpkin patch is worth it.
