Puggles Awards & Train Day

The Puggles are the kids who have parents who serve in AWANA, but they are too big for the nursery and too little for Cubbies (3 years old by August 1st).

Just one little girl up there with a bunch of boys!

Elijah knew the words and most the actions to their song. (I posted the video on Facebook). They called him the leader because he knew it so well. Also, he was probably the oldest Puggle as he missed the cutoff date for Cubbies by 15 days.

Elijah stood by Nolan, his best friend in Puggles.

They each received a certificate for attending Puggles this year.

Our kids are crazy! They are always climbing around.

 Gift idea for Elijah: a kid digital camera.

Eva needs 2 sunglasses!

We went to train day at a park near us. They had inflatables, face painting, a mini ride-on train, a city train model, and live music (singing ABCs and letting kids drum along on stage).

Eva was able to do the inflatable obstacle course with Elijah-helper.

Elijah's conductor hat didn't last long. It fell off 10 seconds into our first train ride.

The boys sat right behind us!

Family on the train! Eva didn't want to be held, so I couldn't get her in the pic. Imagine a baby girl right next to me.

Model city with train.

Here's a better view of how big it is.

The train goes through a little tunnel. Eva was fine the first time, but she cried the 2nd and 3rd time we rode through the dark tunnel.

This boy is ready for the tunnel. He loved that part!

Choo choo! Everyone on the train waves, and everyone watching the train waves.

Eva continued to wave at strangers all day.

Ring the bell! The train is coming.
