The whole family is waiting, of course, which means that we've been trying to pack in lots of activities before we're housebound with an infant. So the other weekend, we headed up to check out the Steam Trains at Tilden Park. These trains have been in operation for 50-some years. They are beautifully kept up, give off lots of nice steam, and produce a satisfying "choo-choo!" Fiona waited anxiously to see what track her train would arrive on....
And was delighted by her first glimpse of the steam train.
Our first ride was in one of the caboose cars.
While cozy, the view was somewhat restricted. Not that this mattered at all to Fiona, who shouted "Again!" at the conclusion.
Since we're about to rock Fiona's world with the mixed blessing of a sibling, we decided to oblige her with a second ride. This time, we chose one of the open air cars.
Fiona LOVED this ride, especially when she figured out how fun it was to stand up and attempt to balance in the moving car.
To complete the spoiling, we took her for frozen yogurt afterwards. Not surprisingly, since Fiona is happy with anything sweet, this was a hit.
Although it did make her cold, which called for some therapeutic cuddling.
In other news, Erick's cousin Darcie and her boyfriend Dennis stopped by for a visit to Berkeley last weekend, which was a nice reunion.
And Fiona's latest fashion must-have? The snuggly blankets from her bed secured cape-like around her by a binder clip. It's her early morning look of choice at the moment.
