Gone, but not Forgotten

Their riding trains appeared under the tree on Christmas morning, and then disappeared two days later. Mommy and Daddy quickly determined that these toys were too big and loud for indoors, so just as quickly as they appeared, the two shiny trains were gone again. In response to their frequent requests, we promised to get their riding trains out once it was warm and dry enough to go outside. Today was the day; the weather was accommodating and the batteries were charged. The boys helped me lay the tracks, and then they rode the rails to their hearts’ content.
