Big Choo Choo!

It was a lazy day in the Pucillo household and everyone was starting to go a little stir crazy. So they decided to ride the Fair Train (but not actually go to the fair because it's 5790 degrees in Indy this weekend). They hurried to make it to Fishers to catch the 4:15 train but missed it :( So they went to O'Charley's to grab some dinner. Upon arrival Lauren got Poppy out of her car seat and realized her bottoms were all wet. Ugh! So Zach took her to the bathroom and changed her - her first blowout!

Once Zach and Poppy got back to the table, Lauren took Poppy out to the car to change her outfit and feed her. Once Poppy seemed satisfied they went back in and sat down. Thankfully the food had already arrived. Lauren had just started eating when she realized she was leaking milk all over her shirt. Ugh! About that time Lolli started squealing and screeching and generally being obnoxious, so they got the check and some to-go boxes and headed for the train station, hoping their luck would turn around.

While Zach was buying the tickets (Lo and Pop rode free, woohoo!), Lolli charmed some women at a Key Bank kiosk and they gave her a beach ball and a glow stick, which she loved. Lolli was a little bit timid when the train arrived but she was still excited to get on board. The seats were very comfy and Lolli liked looking out the window and waving before the train departed.

They were on the train for over an hour and 15 minutes, since they didn't get off at the fairgrounds (just rode it there and back). Poppy did great, sleeping for the first 10 minutes and then just hanging out awake for the rest. Lolli had a blast playing with her beach ball and glow stick and walking around on her "train legs" (which are like sea legs, only on the railroad). The girl has great balance!
