Happy Birthday Kai...Part 2!
















Our favorite boy is 3!!! When asked what he wanted to do for his birthday, Kai immediately responded "I want to go to the Choo Choo place". So that's exactly what we did.

There's a great restaurant not far from us called Tyler's Tender. We sit on bar stools around a counter and wait for the model train to deliver our food.
While we're waiting, the kids love pushing the buttons to make a model train neighborhood come to life. One button makes the helicopter go while another activates the train and so on.

As we're eating our yummy food, we anxiously watch the clock count down until it's time for a real train ride. The kids proudly give their train tokens to the conductor and climb in the train car of their choice...Maya and Kai always choose the engine car so they can ring the bell. After 3 or 4 trips around the room, the ride is over and it's time to go play in the arcade.

Towards the end of our visit, the train makes one last stop at our bar stools to deliver fresh baked chocolate chip cookies for the birthday boy and his sister. They devour them and wash them down with their old fashioned milk shakes.

What a great birthday! Happy Birthday Kai. We love you so much and can't imagine life without you.
