The train says, "Whoo Whoo!"

I rode Amtrak to see Todd and Erynn Nina Nelson and family in Fresno, CA last weekend, I had a wonderful visit--they have been my happy thoughts all week.

We had a delicious picnic at Hillcrest Farms and there just happened to be a miniature steam-engine train you could ride. Of course there were several men (kids in disguise) walking around in those conductor overalls and hats. Dave, the conductor, let me pull the whistle and ring the bell, that . . .was a treat!!!

This is serious stuff for these guys! I asked them where you buy something like this, catalog? specialty shop? Nope, some guy down in LA built it in his garage, it was the 3rd one he had built himself. Cool!!

Here we are snuggled in our boxcar: Tanner, Erynn Nina, Cannon and Laurynn, Tosha and Ellie. Todd of course is doing all of the camera work and sad to say--there are no photos of him to document the weekend. . .so how do we know you were even there!! What were we thinking:)

Laurynn helping Ellie over the rope bridge. The bridge was
much more stable when I was not on it. Cute photo ladies!!
Erynn and Tanner getting the lunches ready!! Delicious.
