All Aboard! Tony and Enzo Ride the Rails at Strasburg

100_0080

On Saturday, we decided to take Tony and Enzo to Ronks, PA for a visit to the Strasburg Rail Road. Tony had been on the train before, right around the time he was six-months old, but today sure was fun!

It was Tony’s first real train ride, outside of the smaller trains on the Ocean City boardwalk, and he absolutely loved it. We rode the rails for a good 45 minutes, a 9-mile round trip all told, and then walked across the street to visit the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

The station was bustling today as Thomas and Percy came for a visit for the first time since the month of June. We did not get the chance to ride on the trains pulled by either one of these engines, but we did ride the traditional steam engine at Strasburg.

As we wrote yesterday, we took both Tony and Enzo to the doctor this week for dueling appointments. Tony was scheduled for a pre-op exam and Enzo was scheduled for his one-month checkup.

The appointment times were back-to-back, but we all went into the room together. The nurse examined Enzo first, who didn’t make a sound as he poked and prodded his head, stomach, legs and arms. 

Then, the nurse asked Tony to take his shoes off. We cannot get Tony to keep his shoes on while in the car or at home, but he broke down into a tantrum when this request was made by the nurse.

Our First Day of Dueling Doctor Appointments

Today marks the first time that we will take both Tony and Enzo to the doctor at the same time. When we came home from the hospital with Enzo, we took him to the pediatrician’s office a couple of days later for a check-up.

We left Tony at home that day with Nonna so there would be no distractions during Enzo’s first visit. 

This time around things are a little bit different. Enzo is due for his one-month check-up and Tony is going for a pre-op visit. Tony will be having eye surgery early in the month of September to open a blocked tear duct in his right eye.
