Planes,Trains & Best Friends
We have been collecting Geo Trax sets since Gracie was about 2 or 3. As you know I love Fisher Price, and even though she is a girl (I was really into gender neutral and cross over toys for her), she loved pulling the tracks and trains and pieces out and setting them up for play.
Now, we love this set that has been added too for years, but there is a BIG draw back--it takes up the whole living room. When Gracie first
had these, we lived in an apartment, and the living room was half of our living space.
Since it takes up so much room, and it takes hours to make a viable track, I usually let the kids leave it up for a day or two before we take it down and put the containers back in the attic.
They have stopped selling and making the Geo Trax line of toys, and I don't think we had gotten a new set in many years. So, I was surprised when Grandma told me three Geo Trax trains were coming to our house via the mail.
It was a long and confusing story (which I still don't understand), but somehow Grandma pestered Toys R Us employees who found trains in a back storage area at Winchester, VA store and now we have three new trains.
Bryce came over today with sister Emmy and the 4 kids had a great time running the trains over the track that I pieced together Wednesday.
While we don't pull the train set out too often, I love to watch the excitement the kids get over playing with it. Another thing they play with together. And, I am kind of sad that we won't be able to add more to the set. Not that we have space, or container room--but losing out on the idea of adding on bums me out a little.
And, while the trains are a hit, the airport remains the favorite piece of our little Fisher Price train world.
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the three new trains, and probably half of the pieces we already own. While I love Geo Trax, I was more than often unwilling to pay the store prices for them (they were expensive!).
