All Aboard!

Last weekend we went to Grapevine and rode on the Grapevine Railroad to Fort Worth.  We had such a good time!  It took about an hour and a half to get there because we had a train robbery on the way!  The kids enjoyed watching the "robbery" out the train window.  They also had fun leaning out the windows to see the sights. 

We were waiting for the train to leave the station in Grapevine.  The train was from the 1800s, so the kids enjoyed seeing how people traveled back then.

Drew was SO excited!  He had a grin from ear to ear the whole time!

Drew and Ally thought it was fun to look at each other outside the train.

Yikes!  It's a train robbery!

Even Megan enjoyed watching the scenery go by outside the train.

I thought this was a neat view out the back of the train.

We passed other "working" trains on our ride.  Drew loved that!

Ally took this picture of Jeremiah and me.  She did a good job getting both of us in the frame-barely!

We were in the last car on the train.  There is the rest of the train in front of us.

When we got to Fort Worth, we had a little bit of time to explore the Stockyards.  Drew picked out a souvenir (some little trains) while Ally opted for some ice cream for her treat (that's my girl!).  We also got to watch the cattle drive down the main road and then a "wild west shootout" in the train station before boarding the train again.

Ally and Drew were standing in front of the stop sign that kept the traffic from coming down the road during the cattle drive.

Here come the longhorns!

Drew was watching the wild west show.  It sure is nice to have such a tall daddy!

Megan is such a good baby!  She always seems to go with the flow!

We got to sit in the outdoor car on the ride back to Grapevine.  The kids enjoyed being able to have such a great view.

We were all tired on the way back, especially Drew.  He almost fell asleep except we were playing a game trying to get cars to honk at the train at every crossing.

This picture says it all.  We had such a fun adventure with our family last Saturday!
