All A-boooaarrdd!!

This past Christmas Jeff's brother's family gave our family a gift certificate to ride the Mt. Hood Railroad. We weren't able to get it scheduled before the railroad closed for the winter, so we had to wait until this past Saturday. Lucky for us, the weather was great and the trip was too! This picture of Stratton is my favorite one of the whole day. He was super excited to go ride on a real train and I think this picture shows just that. The train ride was just over two hours long which was just perfect. There were two passenger cars, the snack bar car, the caboose and the open air car. We really had a great time together. Thanks, Pete and family, for the great gift! (There are more pictures of the day in the slide show below!)

I love that picture too! And I am glad that you actually were able to capture the sun -so blow it up and put it in your house so you can remember that the sun actually shines in Oregon! Love you guys!
