The highlight of this trip was taking Ethan to Tweetsie Railroad. Evan nor I had been there since we were small kids, so it was an adventure for all of us. Ethan loves trains so he was really looking forward to it. If you didn't know- the Tweetsie train is one of the oldest and largest running steam engines on the east coast. It's pretty neat.
Of course riding the train is the largest attraction in the park, but there were plenty of other things to do. Lots of rides, shows, food, and activities for the little ones. This was Ethan's first ever trip to an amusement park. He lasted about 4 1/2 hours, which I thought was pretty good considering he'd been up that morning since 6:15am...hardly containing his excitement.
It was such a beautiful morning. Blue, sunny skies and temps in the 70's.
I love this picture! Waiting for the train to start.
Cowboy in training!
Daddy and Ethan driving race cars...Evan was in heaven. The two of them already practice naming all the Nascar drivers.
These two are best buddies!
On the little train with cousin Shane.
Aside from the train, Ethan LOVED the petting zoo. I think he could have spent the rest of the day in there.
This was a picture taken just for MiMi. She loves reading the grandkids the story of The Three Little Billy Goats.
They let the baby goats wander around the zoo so the little ones could pet them. They were precious.
We had a great day at Tweetsie! Perfect weather, good company, and NO crowds. Had a picnic lunch and enjoyed the beautiful mountain scenery.
Ethan LOVED the train and continues to talk about it on a daily basis. He likes reminding me that "the cowboys shoot their guns...bang! bang!, and it's very loud!" "I had to cover my ears, but it was just pretend, mommy." :)
Until next time, Ole Tweetsie!
