It's Not Enough To Watch The News...

...We have to go see the news. Yesterday's train derailment happened so close to home, that we walked down to the bridge to see it for ourselves. If you saw the news, you know it happened early in the morning. Dad said he felt a big thud, like someone fell out of bed and then he heard Josh say something to me. He thought maybe Versii fell out of his bed. (Don't worry, he didn't, it was the train.) And Josh woke up complaining about the helicopters that were just hovering in the area. Since we're not big news watchers, we didn't know that all the commotion was from the train derailment, until Mom drove past it on her way home from the store. So, after dinner, we all walked down to the bridge to join a number of onlookers as workers were trying to clean up the mess. They had already removed all the wheels from the fallen cars and burned the tracks to remove the stakes. It was interesting to see. Mom says, "This will probably be the only time we'll ever be able to walk to see a derailed train." ---And she's hoping that when we go to "A Day With Thomas" tomorrow that Kaden will not be afraid to ride on the train. It was interesting to see. You can check out our pictures below.
