The Train

Riding this train every year has become a family tradition and this year we had a beautiful day.

Grandma and Grandpa C joined us plus Great-Grandma C which was a nice treat.

The boys were looking forward to putting pennies on the track. Here's Ty setting them up, hoping that the train wouldn't pick them up and take them away like last year!

All lined up and ready to go.

This year, we were able to retrieve all the pennies... all 11 of them!

Ryan proved his bravery again, walking between the coaches to the open air car. Ty didn't make it...

Watching the world go by from the window of a train. Fun!

The boys took advantage of Grandma time.

Tyler was telling some sort of tall tale, I'm sure.

So, of course, Ryan had to get in on the fun.

It was another great day... and we got a Tyler funny out of it! We haven't had one of those in a while (sob... he's growing up). Great-grandma C was explaining that the train ran on soft coal and she asked Ty if he knew where coal came from. He didn't say "duh," but the tone in his voice said it all when he answered "Santa!" Too Funny! Where else would it come from??
