From yesterday! June 24~ Steam Train!

Gil generously drove us up and over the hills to the Embsy/Bolton Abbey Steam train station, where Max was given a lump of REAL COAL by the engineer!

Monday!

Didn't do too much today, though Max DID earn himself the Biro Canal Barge set he saw at the Treetop Toyhouse toy store in Hebden Bridge, so Gil kindly took us there and we ate at the Old Gate (YUM!!!!!!) and shopped for presents for people (maybe YOU are on the list! Hee!) and wandered a bit, then came home to watch movies, eat cheese sandwiches, and get the kid to bed by 8:30!
Wow~
Tomorrow we're hoping to go find one of the old steam trains and THEN we get to go on a canal boat dinner cruise!!!!
