Hey! We Only Had a Pony Cart
Decades ago, one of the more over-indulgent families, on our block hired a pony cart for their daughter's Birthday party. This was rather lavish, considering that most parties, at that time, consisted of party games, unwrapping presents and eating cake. The most exciting thing was musical chairs. That all came back to me as I watched this little train come down the street. A little girl a few houses down was having a party. Now only did she have a moon bounce, but also this. I thought at first it was an ice cream truck. I heard an engine rumbling and a train whistle. Much better than the other annoying ice cream truck that bellows "Hello" on its loudspeaker. The little train is provided by a local company called Trains on the Move. It's a cute concept. The little girl we saw really seemed to be enjoying it as she rode along with a big smile one her face.
