Saturday walk and model train ride.

Travis was on call Saturday so we had to stay closer to home. We went to the Migros for groceries and battled the Saturday shopping traffic. Then we took the 62 bus to the end of the line, Mülacker (this is the same bus Leif takes to school) and walked around a small lake, Katzensee. There was a beach and playground where families were enjoying the warmer weather and sunshine. As we were walking around the lake, we discovered a large scale model train that was giving rides around a miniature version of a train yard, tunnel, and workshop. This was the highlight of our train experiences so far for Leif. The engine they were using was a real steam engine and they scooped little pieces of coal, adjusted the throttle, and it chugged around the track pulling several train cars.
