David enjoys bananas and the muffins made from them. They’re good for you, and they give you a new outlook on life. Yes, that’s right — six minutes of eating two banana muffins. You must love the source material enough to enjoy this movie all the way until David walks off screen.

Filmed on May 22, but good any time of the year. Must’ve been a chilly morning. Check out Joe’s pajamas.

David shows off his painting prowess. Sometimes, it’s more about the technique (and the play of it) than the final product. Right? (Select picture to view video.)

David’s been taking skating lessons at the local community center, and he loves it, especially when he works to try to keep up with good friend Rachel.

David (and parents!) have also enjoyed watching the high school ice hockey games afterwards. See photo and videos below from one indoor session. David’s in the red jacket.

In May, the Banks Family went on two train-filled activities, the first at Lake Metroparks Farm Park for their annual “Railroads in the Parks,” as well as the miniature steam-powered engines that you can ride through the woods at nearby Penitentiary Glen Reservation. At Lake Farm Park, various gauges of model trains were on display in the main building, but we still had time for David’s first pony ride.

Two weeks later, we couldn’t miss “Day Out with Thomas” at the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. David had a spring cold and touch of fever that weekend, but enjoyed it nonetheless, a big fan of Thomas and friends (lately, Hank is his engine du jour). Sheryl and I thought the event was a little too commercial, and we’d probably prefer to ride the train here when Thomas is away.

Note to parents: Tickets are for the train ride; you can simply bask in the commercial glow of Thomas merchandise and other activities for free. On board the train, most of the kids we saw were impatient with looking out the window and at each other after about 10 minutes — an experience like being trapped in a large car with a huge family. Maybe the Polar Express event is more interesting.

Trouble on the Tracks

Sometime this month, we pulled out all the wheeled toys out of the garage, drew train tracks on the driveway with chalk, and played Thomas outdoors. As always, there was trouble on the tracks. Luckily, no one was hurt. Quickly edited by Daddy, with a nudge and wink for the background soundtrack.

Day Out with Thomas

This is followed by the video of Thomas the Tank Engine pulling in, with David smiling, but that’s about as exciting as it gets. No strollers allowed on board, thank you.

David caught the flu the night before Halloween Trick-or-Treat night this year, so we saved dress-up for neighbor Karen’s annual Halloween party.We went as the Zombie Family a.k.a. the Unregistered Voter Family. Scary, huh?
