Jesus REALLY Loves The Little Children!!!!

Zachary had a great time with Grammy and Papa today.  They picked him up from school and off to Thomasville they went!  They had promised him a train adventure and also to take him to a couple of parks  to play.  It was a gorgeous day for it!  Lots of sunshine and cool breezes. . .

They went to Paradise Park and Cherokee Park in Thomasville to play.  Cherokee Park has a train track that runs right by it.  They played awhile and finally sat down to take a rest at a nearby picnic table.   Zach had been asking Papa the entire time, "When is a train coming?"  Of course, Papa didn't know and kept telling Zach that.  Papa told Zachary that they needed to go soon but that they would wait until 4:15 to see if a train was coming.  While they were sitting at the table, Zachary finally said, "Papa, would you please ask God to send a train?"  Of course this melted Papa's heart and he told me later that he had already secretly prayed a silent prayer.  However, he told Zachary that he would pray for one.  So, they said a little prayer aloud asking God that if it was His will to please send a train by so that Zach could enjoy it.  At precisely 4:15 they heard a whistle!  It was a choo choo!!!!!  I'm just imagining that Zachary melted God's heart at that precise moment and He just couldn't resist sending a train.  Wow.  Of course afterwards Zachary bugged Papa to death to keep praying for more trains!  Ha!!

My mom told me another cute "Zach" story from their trip:

My Dad asked Zach if he wanted to work on trains when he grew up.  He asked him if he would like to be an engineer on a train.  Zachary said no, and that he would just like to "stay home".  Mom asked him if he would just rather work with his Daddy.  He again said no, he just wants to stay home.  Mom said, "You don't want to work so you can make some money?"  Zach replied, "No, Daddy does that. . . so we can stay home."  What a stinker!!  But a very cute, adorable, loveable, sweet stinker he is!!!

Thanks Mom and Dad for making another wonderful day of memories for my sweet boy.

Here are some pictures that Mom took from their fun day. . .
