Shell, Mo, Trains, and Voodoo

My sister and Chris came over from Idaho New Year's weekend to hang with us and watch the Rose Bowl. One of the fun things we did was head downtown on MAX to Voodoo Doughnut. For those of you not familiar, its a very funky shop that has crazy flavors of treats. It was Matthew's first ride on the train, which made it even more exciting!

Daddy and the kids heading down to the platform!

Love my big sis!

Chris (Mo) trying to calm Matthew's fears of the noisy incoming train! Poor thing was pretty scared!

Evelyn LOVED the ride.. can ya tell?

Me and my sweet boy!

Poor buddy was truly so scared in the tunnel! He clung to daddy and cried a few times. Hopefully next time it will be more fun for him! :(

Evelyn thought the tunnel was cool.. as was sitting with her cool aunt Michelle and "Mr. Chris".

Taking it all in!

The whole reason for the trip!! Voodoo!

As always, there was a line. We had to wait about 40 minutes (no kidding!) in line but made the best of it!

Group shot!

Evie and Chris.. one of my favorite pics of the day!

Me and the kids trying to decide what kind to get!

The choices were endless!!

Aunt "Shhhhell" loving on her nephew!

A feeble attempt to get a family shot (can you find the 2 year old who was having a meltdown? haha)

In the end, it was SO worth the wait!!

A fun morning indeed!

Oh My Goodness! I've never heard of this place but it sounds (and looks AMAZING!! :) I can't imagine the wait time!! WOW!

I bet next train ride, he'll be super excited and will know exactly what to expect! He's SO precious as he "endured" the ride!

Ok, E's hair is BEAUTIFUL! Does she sit still so you can brush it all out?

I always thought growing up that I would have all girls! It never crosses my mind that a boy would enter my family, let alone THREE! God has a sense of humor, doesn't He?! :)

Btw, one of my friends just recommended my blog to a friend of her's that is going through the helmet process. I felt incredibly humbled to be able to have an opportunity to help someone...I pray that I may encourage her the way you have done for me. You truly are such a beautiful gift to me! :)

(I hope my woes and honesty as I pushed through it don't scare her!!)
