Gary’s Parents Visiting

Gary’s parents came to visit last Monday.  This is the first time that they’ve seen Ethan in a year.

They took the Children’s Railway one afternoon.  It is a train that is “operated” by children and goes a short distance in the hills of Buda.  It’s not really operated by children, but they do have children dressed up in uniforms who take your tickets to punch, etc…Here is a picture of Kent, Debbie, and Ethan with 2 of the children dressed up.There was another little kid on the other end of the see-saw.  I think the kid was slipping or something and Kent was reacting to that.Kent has enjoyed building things with these soft blocks more than Ethan does.I’m not exactly sure what Ethan was doing here (trying to be helpful or to destroy).The final product… to only last a minute or two before…… it gets destroyed.  Ethan is definitely in the stage where he would rather demolish what someone has built than build something himself.  He and Kent have been doing the building and tearing down thing every day.
