Smashing Pennies

On Friday night my neighbor and I, along with our kids, went up to the train tracks to smash some pennies. (Great activity for young kids...right?)

After super gluing 9 pennies to the railroad tracks and watching for the train the kids got tired of waiting. So they decide to walk up the dirt side of Cemetery Hill. It is a steep but short climb.

As you can see Rori did great. She basically ran up the hill. (I kept yelling for her to wait.) As for Gracie, it was a bit too steep, and she preferred to crawl. Actually she preferred to be carried but was at least willing to try.

After and hour of climbing around on top we headed down to see if the train came. Still no train. On Saturday night we headed back to the track so we could show the kids what happened to the pennies and much to our surprise the train still had not come.

Moral...Enjoy the things around you instead of waiting for life to come!
