We took the boys on this train in Connersville with Grandma and Grandpa.
The train went from the station to a "pumpkin patch" (which, to be entirely honest, left quite a bit to be desired) where we took a hayride and picked out pumkins.
Here's usually what happens when I try to get both boys to hold still for a picture.
Second attempt...
Overall, we had a great time and this was definitely worth the drive. After months of drought, it decided to rain on this particular day. I said a little prayer on the way there that we would have a dry window just long enough for us to go on the hayride to and from the pumpkin patch. (We brought umbrellas, but just imagine trying to simultaneously wrangle an umbrella and a 9 month old...I wasn't looking forward to it.) And my prayer was answered!! We didn't get rained on at all until we got off the train and were headed to the car! Ty had a great time riding the train. We're going back in December for the Polar Express ride and are really looking forward to it!

Blaine,
ReplyDeletedid those train tracks at Connersville run north and south? If so, they may have been the tracks that Lawrence Jakes (grandfather Jakes' dad) worked on. He tended signal lights for the railroad near connersville.
Yes, they do! That's awesome.
