I bought a Groupon for a Christmas train ride and visit to the Colorado Railroad Museum. It only goes 4 Saturdays in December and we went the 3rd out of 4th Saturday. It was quite crowded and they bussed us in from a parking lot (the kids loved it).
Waiting in line to get our tickets.....lucked out with a beautiful, pleasant day! Especially b/c almost everything is outside (which I didn't know!)
Short line for Santa when we got there, so we raced to get a moment with him....
One of the cool old trains....
This is the train we got to ride....and old steam engine.
We got to sit in the cool passenger cars, which were refurbished but represented what they looked like when used in the late 1800's early 1900's.
Figured out how to open the window during a stop at the water tower!
Ethan found a cute railroad doggy, I think "Spike" to hug and high five.
Awesome miniature train village.
Very fascinated.....
Grampy and Ethan in front of an old train.
Daddy helped each one pull the rope to ring the bell.....Breanna was using her whole body to pull on the rope.
Snow plow train! We saw crazy pics of a 30 foot snow pack up in the mountains back in the 1900's.
Checking out the view from inside......
A caboose
Grampy pushing them on the old luggage carts.
It was really fun! Even better was the fact that Rob and Grampy would lift each of the kiddos at the MANY different locations that needed lifting to see throughout the museum. My pregnant body could not have done it without them! A fun and different adventure!
