What a guy!

Took Little Britches to look for trains. Be back for nap ( or maybe not). Enjoy your alone time.

This is the note I found when I returned from my jog. AWESOME! I was so excited to have a quiet house( Mackenzie is finally getting those bottom molars in and we both needed a break!) but even more excited that Mike and Mack were going to have some good quality time together. He took her to the only place he could think of that had " captive trains"- Greenfield Village , outside Detroit. I love that Mike got to experience Mackenzie seeing and doing something for the first time. The joy and wonder in her face is priceless. Here are the pictures he took. I really wanted him to write this but I couldn't wait to post the pictures and he's got a big work week coming up.


Mike wasn't sure if it actually registered that she was on a train but she had fun nonetheless:

Checking it out!

After the train ride was over, Mike could see sleepiness starting to cloud Mackenzie's eyes. He asked her if she wanted to keep looking at the trains or go home. She said go home, so they did. Mike got her a cute little book ( one of his childhood favs), shirt and engineers hat to commemorate their morning together:
