NOT a baby post...

The baby's due date is tomorrow and there are no signs of baby coming anytime soon. We will see what this next week brings...hopefully a healthy baby and Mommy by week's end.

To keep us busy, we took a two hour drive to Sacramento today to visit the Railroad Museum. It was fantastic and totally worth the drive!! Our little train-obsessed Jorgen loved it! And his sister, Shelley, was equally fascinated by the huge steel machines!

They have a dozen or so life-size trains from all different eras. We were able to go inside some of them and look around and others we just admired from the outside.
Jorgs and Shells listening to recorded information about this train and it's cowcatcher. I am pretty sure they paid more attention to just pretending being on the phone talking to someone than to what they were listening to.
Shelley could have talked forever.
Going in this train was one of Jorgen's favorite things about the train museum. We got to sit in the conductor's seat and see how steamies work.
Shelley enjoyed making faces at Daddy while we learned about how steam makes trains run.
Our little lady who will soon no longer be one!
Inside the dining train.
On the back of the sleeping car.
Trying to be one of the tough women working on the railroad.
We could not help but show off our muscles!
Tough Hansen gals! :)This picture just makes me laugh. My belly looks like a torpedo...come out baby!!
In addition to life-size trains, the museum also had a lot of model trains that Jorgen and Shelley loved looking at.
I think they may be a little too engaged in the electric trains. They cannot get close enough!
Ok, so as gross as it is that their mouths are totally soaking up all the yummy germs on the glass, it is still pretty funny!
Upstairs they had a couple train tables set up with Thomas and his friends adorning all the tables. Jorgen was in heaven and could have played there for hours!

We enjoyed our time at the museum and then on our way home we stopped by the Jelly Belly Factory. Our favorite treat!
What a fun day trip!
It is so nice having Justin around during spring break and having so much family time together (not to mention nap time for me!).
Justin is so much fun! He and Jorgen made a volcano on Monday and used it in a lesson for family home evening (Justin was really creative in tying it into the lesson they gave:D).
Fizzy, fizzy!
Ok, so next post WILL be a baby post. I hope. Maybe not though.
Anyone have any labor inducing tricks? :)
