Toy Store

Jeff is playing in a golf tournament this afternoon, so he took the day off work. He had promised Ryan all week if he listened and obeyed "the boss" that we would bring him to the "train store" to spend his gift certificate from Uncle Brian and Aunt Krista. (Once Upon A Toy, but Ryan calls this store HIS train store. hehe). Then we went to lunch at one of our favorites, Arby's. Ryan says "I like Arby's, Daddy. I like Donalds too!"
Here are some pics of the kids playing this morning. Julia had fun with all the dolls, and of course, Ryan didn't want to leave the train area! While we were there playing a family with SIX kids came in and Ry had fun playing with some of their kids too. (Can you even imagine!?!)
We ended up leaving with a construction set. We're hoping it's a "hit" enough to keep him busy on the plane ride to NY next week.
Since Jeff had to take off almost as soon as we got home from lunch, yours truly was in charge of putting his new toy together. Well, 1 hour and 20 minutes later I think we are set. It slightly worries me that we have a few "'extra" parts that I can't figure out where they should go, and that is after even reviewing the directions about a zillion times. THAT is why daddy is in charge of these things!! We'll see if this toy is a keeper or not...it has 4 small balls and he's already lost them a handful of times without even leaving the kitchen table.
