waiting for the train
One of favorite end-of-the-day activities is to pick up Casey at the Sierra Madre train station. There's a station closer to our house but this one has parking and the kids love getting out and walking on the platform to find him. With Lucy involved, of course, there's a specific routine.
On this particular night I wanted to get photos of Lucy in her shortie outfit and I needed pics of myself for some PR type stuff. So I brought the camera along. Here's how our typical outing goes.....
We MUST park on the top level. I did this once and so, the top level it is from here on out. I guess she likes being out in the open air!
We then take the elevator down to the 4th floor for the tunnel/bridge that crosses over the freeway.
And if someone happens to drop their change, Lucy and Owen are entertained for 30 minutes:
The tunnel is their favorite part. Lucy acts silly:
And then they chase each other down to the end:
Down on the platform (which is an island in the middle of crazy freeway traffic on both sides), they often swing from the rails:
sit on the benches:
and climb on the dirty stairs: (I should care right? I just pretend it's fine and that no bums have peed on there)
And when dad gets off the train, he takes pictures of the three of us!
thanks for being a playground, Sierra Madre station.
We promise to stay behind your yellow line, so no one gets hurt.

wow! you are ALL over the blogging now -- love it! these pics are so cute. isn't it funny that once you know you're moving, you want to document all these routine parts of life? well maybe that's not why you did this, but that's how i felt before we left :) that pic of the station/freeway makes me nostalgic.
