This weekend, we went to the Wenham Museum to "cheer on...the New England LEGO Users Group" as they went "for a LEGO record with the first ever displayed super-sized monorail." Translation: more trains! The nerd-factor was uncomfortably high, even for this Haverford alumna, but Frances didn't seem to notice. Hard to know where to begin describing the scene...The part Frances is looking at below was a carnival. It took me a minute to realize but the people attending the carnival were actually familiar characters like Yoda and Harry Potter and superheroes I couldn't quite identify.
Notice Frances's red shoes in the next picture. They were a present from Mimi and they squeak - intentionally - every time she moves. On the upside, I never lost Frances. On the downside, her shoes squeaked. Thanks, Mimi!
It got very crowded very quickly. Frances and I soldiered on to the museum's regular train display and even glanced at a few of the museum's 1,000 dolls. Frances was a little disappointed that they only had trains in G, O, HO, N and Z gauges, I was overwhelmed by the crowds and Mark was fighting the Mother of All Colds and a back ache. We were home for 12:30 naps. Mark spent the rest of the weekend in bed trying to recover. Between last weekend's Toddler Drum Circle and this weekend's train show, Mark may not let me plan any more weekend activities.
