An excursion to the country...

I love that all I have to do to make my boys truly happy is put them around trains. It's just that simple. We took a drive on Sat, about 2 hours away, to the country to see another old rail yard, roundhouse w/turntable, an egg hunt and an excursion train ride. It was a great time. We started the day with an egg hunt, the boys had a great time. Tyler wasn't really sure of what to do, but he was out with the other little kids, so he figured he was having a good time. Cody has a couple egg hunts under his belt so he knew exactly what to do, so he scored a nice bucket full of eggs.

After the hunt we just barely caught the noon train and off we went. It was a beautiful ride through some beautiful country side with a lot of history involved. There was a train car host in our car that told us about all the different sites along the way, gold mining sites, places they had filmed scenes from movies and the pro bull riding circuit bull Nitro. There was also a fiddle/mandolin player going through the cars playing all kinds of songs and telling stories to go along with those. It was great.




We also walked around the roundhouse and Cody told us how the turntable worked. There were a few old trains and lots of other parts and cars to see. Lots of history.



We will defiantly be taking another trip there again.
