Big Basin

We went car camping in Big Basin for Memorial Day weekend.

Anders thought it was great.

One of our campsites was next to a creek.

The trip was a bit light on pics, but that's just because we were having too much fun to remember to take pictures.

Here it comes!


Engine No. 7, up close and personal.


We rode the train twice, and Anders loved it.  I'm sure we'll go back again.

The future's so bright...

Here he is a week or two ago:


And here he is today (as you'll see, he's taken to singing along while playing):
