Caltrain Lunch Date

Last Friday afternoon McKay and I went for a train ride! A friend in our ward organized a lunch date/train ride. We got on the train in Sunnyvale and got off in Palo Alto. McKay and I almost missed the train. Apparently I need to add at least 10 minutes to our 'getting ready' time for applying sunblock. We were literally running to catch the train. McKay was laughing at me when I was rushing to get him strapped in the stroller before taking off running through the parking garage. A train worker helped us get all the strollers on the train & out of the way. He also helped by unloading all the strollers once we stopped. However, he unloaded an extra stroller. Yes, the train was long gone but someones stroller with a bag full of snacks and diapers was left on the side. Bummer for someone! Their Day of Fun just got more complicated!

After we left the stroller at the station, we caught up with the rest of the group at the Peninsula Fountain & Grill, not to be confused with the Peninsula Creamery a few streets down (ahem!). As we were walking in to join the rest of the group, a man leaving asked us what we were all doing. He'd never seen so many babies before. 'Is there a baby convention going on or something?' :) We used ALL the highchairs & booster seats the restaurant had and still were a few short. McKay and I got a sandwich with home style fries & and chocolate fudge shake that was 'mmm'.

Deb and I are both councilors in the Young Women Presidency. Her little Elle is 10 months old. Deb is a lot of fun and reminds me of my cousin Amy.

McKay had fun looking out the window and choo chooing.

What a fun afternoon!

That does sound like a fun afternoon! Did you know everyone in the group before the outing? Hopefully more outings like that will be organized in the future.

What a great idea. The picture with all the strollers and kids cracked me up. I bet it did look funny to a lot of people. Lashelle
