We've been hearing about Tiny Town for a few years now, so we finally made plans to visit it with Rina and Bianca one Friday morning. The boys didn't know much about it, but for some reason, Jonah was so excited. Maybe it was because Bianca was going too. All morning, every time we finished something (changing a diaper, getting dressed, eating breakfast, getting shoes on...), Jonah said brightly: "Now can go to Tine Town!"
When we finally got there, it wasn't quite what I'd expected, but the kids loved it. It was just...a tiny town...that sprawled along a creek and up a hillside just up in the mountains from here. I'd thought the kids could go in the structures, but they turned out to be more like collectors' houses and too little even for toddlers, each donated by a different group and furnished inside. The kids loved looking in the windows.
There were a few small buildings the kids could go into, and then they had fun looking out of the windows.
These three kids love playing together so much, it probably doesn't matter where we go. But no one was ready to leave Tiny Town. There's even a train with a diesel engine that takes you on a tour of the town. Every day since we went there, for the last two weeks or so, Jonah still announces (when we get in the car, when we put shoes on, etc.): "Time go to Tine Town! Meet Nee-a-nah!" (Bianca) And sometimes it continues to: "Ta-tai (Kelly) be there Too...Wo-wam (Roman) be there Too...Abo (Adler) be there Too!" I'm starting to wonder if we need to go there for his birthday.
