Chug-a-Chug-a-Choo-Choo

Isn't this train look like fun!!! We loved it. We started our vacation out with a family reunion in Santa Cruz, CA. We had such a nice time. We met different relatives from Monte's family and played with cousins we already knew!
Connor of course loved the dirt and the watermelon. They made for a wonderful combination by the time the day was over!
This is one side of the train when we pulled out of the station. The ride took us through a Redwood preserve. It was beautiful. In all it was about an hour long train ride.
The train ride had one stop and the kids all climbed up on this old log, so of course the genealogy grandpa couldn't pass up an opportunity to have his picture taken with his posterity. So here is a picture with Papa Craig and 5 of his 20 grandchildren ( 2 more on the way!!).
And of course most of my camera's memory stick is pictures of these two guys. This is Connor and his cousin Jeremiah. They are less than two months apart and both are quite the toe heads!! They had fun running all over the place together. Tara and I would hold each others children and the family I don't think ever figured out which one goes with which one. As for the blond hair it inherited by me and Nat the non Jensen parents. We were both just like that as babies. (but grandmalona might try to say otherwise!)
And you can't miss those great photo opportunities that will embarrass them later!!

Overall day one of the family reunion is making it almost worth the long drive!!
