Tweetsie Railroad

September 10, 2006 OK, so it has been a really long time since I posted any pictures, but that's just what happens when school starts back I guess. Our last big adventure was a trip up to Lenoir, NC to visit Granny. We decided to take advantage of the gorgeous fall weather and take a day trip to Tweetsie Railroad in the mountains. Granny took me when I was a kid at least a million times, so the times have a changed! What an amazing day it was. To see the magic in your own child's eyes in indescribable. I never knew what this day was going to be like. When we walked in the gates, Kinsey saw the towering green steam engine "choo choo" and wanted to ride it immediately. On the ride there are cowboy and indian fights so I didn't know how she would take it. She was as solemn and wide-eyed as I'd ever seen her. Then she wanted to ride the rides, another idea that made Mommy nervous, but she rode like a big kid all the way. She fed goats and deer, ate cotton candy and LOVED riding the "horties" on the carousel. We couldn't get her off. As you can see, the day wore her out (and us too) but it was one we won't forget...at least I know Granny, Mommy and Daddy won't!!!
