August 2002 - Trains!

A good summer this year, couldn't complain about the weather. So we went out a lot, usually to places where Tim could go on a train ride. (Megan is starting to be keen too, and loves playing with Tim's brio trains at home).
Most of these photos are from a cycle ride down to Stanley Park, and a day trip up to the BC Heritage Train Museum in Squamish. The kids had great fun except for the long drive in the car on the way back....
Megan moves around too much for me to take many pictures yet.
