The Carrot Train

For tonight's FHE activity, we set up a treat train the basement.

The kids connected the tracks,

(and Daddy explained how to fix one of the loops

so it wouldn't cancel out the electric current) . . .

. . . then we loaded up the cars

with Tollhouse cookie bars, peppermint bark, peppermint almonds,

and baby carrots ('cuz that makes it a healthy activity).

Daddy carefully set the train cars on the tracks 

and connected them together . . .

. . . then he drove the train around the track,

stopping periodically in front of each of us so we could choose some treats.

After a few rounds, he let the kids have a turn at the controls.

Everyone had a great time.

We even invited the squishmallows downstairs

so they could see how much fun we were having

eating carrots (and other stuff).
