Train ride

Last night we took our little prince on a train ride. He was excited about it all day long and kept crying because we weren't leaving to go see the train yet! We got there way too early, but there was a little museum in the depot and we got to look at the train they restored from 1911 (in pictures of course), souvenirs, and a model train set they had upstairs. We walked around outside and looked at the big train and watched them hook up the engine. Oh, the little prince was so upset when they moved the engine, he thought it was leaving without us! We rode about an hour, maybe an hour and a half round trip. When we got to our stop they had a "haunted train car" that we could walk through. It had people in makeup looking dead or like zombies, lots of fog from a machine, strobe lights everywhere, and machetes and such hanging from the ceiling. Our little guy didn't seemed fazed one iota by it. He walked through, looking at everything, and walked out the other end of the car without so much as a gasp or whimper. I was impressed. It could have scared a full grown adult but not him! He got his face painted, a little bag of candy, and a balloon! He was so excited we were only a few miles from home before he fell asleep! We promised him that since he liked it so much, we'd go back sometime. Maybe for Christmas. He was so worn out from the excitement he even told us he was ready to go home!
