Nicco Hinkley’s Pictures.

Here’s Nicco waiting for the runners to get to where we sit every year. He liked the race.

Nicco likes his pool when it gets hot out. He assumed that the slide would work in it and asked for it to be moved into the pool. What a smart boy.

Down he goes!

I posted 3 movies this weekend. They had been in the computer forgotten about. They are on the Movie Page. In case you’re wondering, the place where I work blocked Google Video, so I post a mirror at Grouper as well.

The new movies are: Nicco’s Easter egghunt snowstorm, 2007 , Nicco’s Dance, and Nicco at a parade, May 2007.Enjoy!

He has his own cabinet. There is no lock on it. He has empty boxes of cereal and some pots and pans there too. He empties it and then goes inside it.

There he is!

There was a “play room” in the trolley museum. It had some trains on track on the ceiling, the entire layout of the trains and trolleys of the past era (in our area; seen in the above picture,) and other train toys. He did not want to leave this room. Good thing there are seats for the adults.

Here he is with Mommy boarding an old trolley in the museum. I heard from a fella that worked for the park, that it costs more to run Steamtown annually than it does to run the Grand Canyon National Park annually. Interesting if true.

So show up and support your local area parks.

This is the Steamtown National Historic Site in downtown Scranton. Once a year they open this site and other historic buildings in Scranton to free tours. There are free buses that look like trolleys that take you around town. After his nap and lunch, we only had time for Steamtown. We missed the last short train ride that would have been 1/2 hour. The trolley ride was 45 minutes with a 1 mile tunnel. I figured he might be too young to sit in a small trolley for that long. Maybe next year. He did enjoy the choo-choos. And the trolley museam as well. He didn’t want to get out of the engines he went into.

His 2 favorite words are “Choo-choo train” and “school bus.” He had a good time.

Mostly he dumps the box of chalk out on the ground. Sometimes he make drawings. Or he asks for a picture of a choo-choo tain or a skoo-bus.

And now everything costs “nine dollars.” With my brother Matt it was everything costs a nickle. Must be inflation from the 80s to now…

Here are the Gap twins. It wasn’t planned.

This is the current situation in the backyard. Think he has enough toys?  It takes a long time to prepare for grass cutting.
