tonight we brought sam up to his first rays game.

he talked the whole way up about the tampa bay rays.

this was the look on his face when we pointed out the trop across the bay on our way.

excited much?

he kept up with the boys with everything.

he stood & took his hat off for the national anthem.

he had his own meal, chicken and french fries.

his own cotton candy, yellow.

his own dippin' dots, cookies and cream.

he loved all of the rally songs and clapping.

his favorite...

charge!

he even participated in the wave.

we had charlie's friend chase with us.

he is about 1/2 head taller than charlie.

with all of them lined up, they looked like they were all ours.

we got lots smiles and smirks from people thinking we had four boys.

funny...

not!

this the first piece charlie got when he was 2.

the dairy farm and, of course, the figure eight set.

all of them have played with it...

still do.

our collection is loved.

it is buster chewed.

there is hardly any liquid left in the water tower.

the honey is clear.

hours have been spent setting up tracks...

never two the same.

stories created,

every train song sang,

loving every minute of unplugged imagination.
