Andrew loves trains. He seem to eat, sleep, and play trains all day, every day. So, Papaw asked if he could take us all to Tweetsie Railroad so Andrew could ride a real train. We were a little concerned that the weather was going to be bad but the day ended up being beautiful - sunny and warm!
I didn't tell Andrew we were going to ride a train. I had told him when we went to the Apple Festival that he was going to ride a train and when that train turned out to be a caterpillar, he wasn't pleased. So this trip was a big surprise!
Andrew had a great time. We rode the train first thing and he was very excited. When they stopped to do the little skit on the mountain, he wasn't so excited. He kept saying "all aboard!" but they just wouldn't listen. He just wanted them to get back on the train so we could continue our ride.
And when it was time to go, Andrew sat down in the parking lot and cried. That's really not like Andrew, and proved he'd had a great time.
For several days after this trip, every time I'd help Andrew put on his clothes he'd ask me if we were going to ride a train. And when we'd get in the van and head to run an errand or something, he was less than enthused to find himself at the grocery store rather than the railroad.
Here are a few pictures from our day:
