the christmas train

With cooper’s love for trains it was hard for us not to go again this year to the christmas train. Cooper’s best friend Ben and his family went with us…

We decided it would be fun for the boys to ride together… but because there were 9 of us total we had to split up into two cars… Its about an hour and fifteen min drive - Valarie and I were the smart ones… we rode in ‘the other’ car :)

and by the looks of it – it was a good decision… the boys were REALLY excited!

it was dark by the time we got there… and cold…

the boys got their train tickets and were super duper excited about it. They were being too silly to get a good picture of anything…

After the big train (and our 5 min come to jesus meeting)… the boys went to ride on the little choo choo. I was impressed that it was FREE! :)

all and all it was a great experience. We didn’t get a chance to do everything and both cooper and ben got hurt (but were fine) – but we will definitely be back next year! (hopefully with the Dobbin’s family again!)
