What a beautiful weekend we had for our last trip to Tweetisie Railroad with the kids this season. This weekend also marked their first weekend of their annual Trick or Tweetsie event. Their actual festival didn't start until 7:30 PM and tickets were separate, so we didn't hang around, but the whole park was still decorated adorably for Halloween. Granny and her youngest sister, Sherry, joined us again Saturday morning as we headed up to Blowing Rock for the day. Kinsey immediately wanted to hit the rides. Unfortunately, the first one chosen was the Tilt-a-whirl and Granny stubbornly decided to ride. After what seemed like an hour, the spinning finally stopped and Granny wobbled her way off, not feeling so hot, bless her heart. Kinsey told her she was never to ride it again! :) Max was more into Tweetsie this time than he was in the spring. He even rode the cars with Jack. He really loved the train whistle and the dancing shows. Kinsey's favorites were the Scrambler, which she made me ride three times with her, the ferris wheel, and getting her face painted (ugh). It was an awesome day and everytime I hear that train whistle blowing, it brings back such sweet childhood memories for me and I can only hope the same for my kids.
After we drug our worn out bodies in from the park Saturday night, Jack and I had all intentions of going to Bo's to watch some football. Our age got the best of us, however. I believe we were all sacked out by 9:00. Granny stayed up the latest! ;)
Sunday morning we got up and got dressed for our regular visitors. The kids got to see two of my cousins, Mary and Caroline, and had a blast playing with them. At lunchtime, we headed over to Happy Valley (very appropriately named country town at the base of mountain) for the Winkler Family Reunion. The food was delicious and there was a great playground all the kids enjoyed.
Then we hit the road for the quiet and peaceful 5 hours ride home. HA! Do NOT let this picture fool you!
