Build & Grow - Trains!

The Build and Grow workshop at Lowe's the last couple of weeks has been train cars. Carter built the caboose while we were in Raleigh last Saturday. We went to the Lowe's in Apex and they held the workshop in a tiny little room behind Customer Service. It was really cramped and I had Rylan with us so it was a little difficult but totally worth it.

Carter helped a little bit (as usual) and was super excited about what he built!



I tried to get Carter to show me what he built so I could take his picture with the caboose. This is the best picture I got (Carter has the worse fake smile right now!) ...


Today I took the boys to build the passenger car (the engine is next week).

Carter was content just putting nails in all the pre-drilled holes (he's getting a lot better with his dexterity) ...


He did help some with nailing pieces together ...


He was especially interested in the wheels ...



I'm so glad Lowe's does these free workshops. They are a lot of fun, Carter has really learned some building skills already, and we have some cool new toys!
