Train Fun

On Saturday we went to Old Poway Park for their Age of Steam event.  They had their steam engine that they've been restoring for a long time out giving people rides.  We got into an ore cart as the line was much shorter.  Here's some fun pictures of everyone all happy and smiling before the ride took place.
Connor and Daddy
Laurel and Camille
Claire, Ellie and I
The train took us around the park twice and on the second trip around it stopped and we all knew what was going to happen.  There was a hold up and these two people got off the train and then there was a gun fight that occurred.  The woman ended up being the hero in the end.  Unfortunately Connor is not fond of loud noises and the gunfight was just a bit too much for him.
Daddy please make it stop!
To cheer him up, we took Connor to the water fountain and let him play in the water for a little bit.  I think he'll think twice before getting on a train again though.
On our way out we stopped and Connor and Daddy got to sit on this antique fire truck with Dotty.
They also had antique cars on display, an organ grinder, and other old timey stuff-think Main Street Disneyland.  It was a fun day-minus the gunfight.

Lisa- Each time we go to the Poway Farmer's Market (Saturday mornings until 11) we hop on the train and ride it around the park. For $2.50 for adults and $0.50 for kids(though Connor is free) we take a ride around the park. Anyway we were there about a month ago and saw flyers about it and picked one up. They also had a big banner out front for a few weeks as well.
