One of the highlights of Mom and Dad's recent visit was our trip to Lancaster County to ride the Strasburg train. Dad is a bit of a train buff, and this live steamer was everything he'd hoped it would be! It was a delightful ride, with lovely views of farmland and some Amish homes.
Getting ready for the ride- we wore sunglasses to protect our eyes from the soot.
We were sitting in the very first row to afford Dad the very best view of the engine in action, and we got to watch the engineer do his thing. This is Dad's dream job.
Colin really liked the train, too, except he got nervous the first few times it blew its whistle.
After the ride.
At the station, the kids rode these cute little crank trains, just like the one Dad has at home. Can you see the determination in their faces? Here Amelia is giving Colin a bump.
I know Colin's eyes are shut, but I had to post this one because of what the hat is doing to his ears. He could be picking up some satellite transmissions with those things.

You guys always do such fun stuff. You will have to be our tour guide in the city we have lived in for four years. :)
