Coal Train Railroad

The kids and I met Missy and her boys and neice and Elizabeth and the boys she nannies at the downtown Nashville library today to see Coal Train Railroad. They are a local jazz band that sings children's songs.

The boys and I got there a little early so we read some books and played for a bit. Carter wanted to bring Teddy, the bear that his teachers gave him for Christmas, with him today. He had to read Teddy a book - it was very cute.


Then we headed into the performance room. It was packed with kids and parents but we were early enough to get a spot up front. Unfortunately Missy and Elizabeth were running a little late due to having to fit an extra carseat in Missy's car but they were still able to find some room in the back.


The band was very good and the boys paid attention the entire time. Carter danced a little (not as much as I would of expected though - I think he would have danced more if his friends were with him).

After the show we headed out to the courtyard to eat lunch. The boys all had a blast throwing pennies into the fountain and making wishes. They didn't eat much but they had lots of fun running and running and running.



We headed back inside after awhile to warm up. Carter had fun putting on puppet shows. They weren't very involved, just a "hi" from the character and it was over, but it was cute.



This was the first time we'd been to the downtown library. They apparently have really awesome storytimes so hopefully we'll go back again soon.
