Train Travels

You may not know this, but little boys love trains. All of them. Abram is no exception. Last year we went to the amusement park Silver Dollar City. They have a train ride. Abram loved it. So, when Grandma Abby and Pops asked what would be fun to do during our visit, the Virginia-Truckee railroad was top of the list. We chose a relatively short 4 mile round trip ride just outside the old mining town Virginia City. 

Noah isn't as little as he used to be. He wasn't too excited about the car trip to the train, but once we were there, he was a good sport. I even squeezed out a smile or two. 

 The train conductor warned us that spiders might drop down into the train while in the tunnel. Sure enough, he was right. Abram was thrilled to find an eight legged friend sitting next to him.

Of course, I found the spider terrifying. 

Nani surprised everyone with her arrival. The day before she hopped in her car and drove the 8 hours all by herself to spend the weekend with us. She was very happy to sit back and enjoy the views. 

And sneak some snuggles in too. 

Naomi loved the train ride. She was thrilled to tag along on a boys adventure. She even brushed her hair and smiled for every picture. 

It was a good day. Next summer, Naomi says she wants to ride the train again. In fact, she wants to ride the train all day long.
