10 on Tuesday Train Style!

Last Saturday we went on a train ride from Osceola to Dresser, WI with Joe's parents and brother....

1. The boys were SO excited for this train adventure! We packed snacks, coloring books and stickers for the special occasion!

2. Everyone got a ticket to get punched once we got moving...Ethan and Judah loved holding onto their ticket:)
3. We started in one car that had chairs facing each other (Judah's in one above) and then we moved to another car with benches and tables (see us all below in that car..it was much brighter too!)
4. The train ride was a total of 50 minutes; we went to Dresser then back to Osceola. Grandma, Grandpa and Ethan got out at the Dresser station to check it out for a few minutes.

5. On the way back we had to make some stops; we also got to make other traffic stop! Choo Choo train coming through!
6. They had a concessions car that sold snacks (we brought our own)..the cool thing about the concessions car is that it was open with only gates between you and the moving scenery! Very breezy and cool - the boys loved it!
7. We did lots of coloring, stickers and had some yummy snacks together!
8. The windows in the cars with tables opened up and there were no screens...just the beautiful breeze created by the fast moving train! Saturday was perfect weather for a train ride! Sunny and low 70's:) ahhh.

9. After we were done the boys waved 'bye bye' to the train!
10. We spent the rest of the afternoon in Osceola, WI. They were having a fair and some other special events so there was plenty to see! We ran across a used book sale that was offering $1/bag - however many books you can fit in there! We got a ton of books for a mere $1:) There was a nice old playground we visited and then we finished off the day with eating at a delicious Amish kitchen...hmm...

What a wonderful Saturday!
