Branson train ride














We went for a train ride through the beautiful mountains of Branson and we even made it into Arkansas. It was a really pretty ride. We sat on a 2nd deck of the train and it had a sky-lite dome ceiling, so we observed a lot. It did get a little chilly up there from the air conditioner. It was 2 hours long so needless to say that the 2 little ones fell asleep. I even got a small nap in, however, after my neck was so kinked I tried getting into a more comfortable position only to have Colton wake up because he could sense that his mommy was wanting to sleep. Over all it was a relaxing activity. Oh, I have to mention this story, if you've ever seen The Polar Express you'll know what I'm talking about. We had boarded the train and were just sitting waiting to leave the station. One of the train conducters came around to check our tickets, I had a ticket, Nate was holding a ticket and Josh was holding Danny's ticket because he didn't need one. Well, the conducter got mine and Nate's and punched a hole into it but then he went to the aisle across from us. He finished up and was ready to leave and Josh was stilling holding his ticket so I asked if he could come and punch Josh's ticket so he wouldn't feel left out. I don't think Josh would have cared either way but I wanted him to have the chance. He apologized and quickly came over and punched it but not just once put all over the place, it totally reminded me of the Polar Express. Then he took his hat off and let Josh and Nate try it on and get a picture of them in it. He was very nice and Josh loved his ticket, he thought it was so cool. The end.
