Friday we dropped Oliver off and Grandpa Chuck and Grandma Shirley's house to spend the night while Shawn and I went down to the Iowa vs. Iowa State game in Iowa City. The Canadian Pacific Railroad's Holiday Train came through Clayton County with stops in Marquette and in Guttenberg. Grandpa and Grandma took Oliver to Marquette to see the train. Shirley said the arrived just in time for Oliver to hear the train blow his whistle and Oliver's face lit up!
It is free to go and see the train with the cars all lit up and the band playing Christmas music and of course Santa with only a donation of a food item for the local food pantry. Oliver wouldn't look at Santa or take the candy cane from him even though we had been practicing with Oliver and showing him Santa. Shirley took the candy cane from Santa then gave it to Oliver who then threw it because Santa was watching him.
Chuck took him to see the Engine and touch it. Oliver touched it briefly so excited they said his eyes were so big the entire time with his love of choo choos.
Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa for taking Oliver here and taking pictures!
