Ridin' the Rails

We took the train to Eugene and back last weekend, and although it takes longer and costs more, it was exceedingly more relaxing and much more fun for all of us.  The kids had a great time, and it is definitely something I would do again.  While in Eugene, we visited Sarah's grandma's farm and then went to Splash! (an indoor water park with a cool wave pool).  Here are some pictures from the weekend (Splash! pictures not included yet).  Enjoy!

On the way there, we rode on the 2nd level of a "double-decker" train.  Great views, and very comfortable...




On the way home...OK, so maybe the scenery got a little boring for the kids, but there's nothing like Bob the Builder for a nice distraction (even on the little iPod screen). 


Of course, snacks and chocolate milk are a good distraction, too!


Part of our trip to the farm was driving around the fields, dropping off bales of hay for the cows to eat.  Sam got to kick the bales out of the back of the pickup truck.  Sarah drove, and Amy rode shotgun.  I just made sure nobody fell out.

That looks like fun! And I love Amy's pigtails. :)
