DOWT - Part 2

So...here's the main part of the trip...the train ride. On the way to the train, we stopped to get a quick picture of Nathan and Thomas (more to come later).


Here is Nathan and William getting on the train.


After we boarded the train, we had about 15 minutes before we went anywhere. We took the opportunity to get a picture of all of us. Look! We're all looking at the camera at the same time!


I also went down to the end of the coach car to get a picture of the whole environment. You can see Matt and Nathan about halfway down on the right. There were two sets of seats facing each other, so we were all in one little area together.


We tried hard to get a picture of Mommy and the kids, but we just didn't all look at the same time.


Caroline really enjoyed looking out of the train. It's the first time that she's been in anything moving and not been strapped in. She could get right up to the window and check out everything going by.


Nathan was checking everything out, too. We went over a piece of Lake Blackshear (see above) and through some pecan tree orchards. On the way back, there were some people out in a boat that waved at us as we went by.


This man was the "host" of our coach. At the beginning he got everyone to say "push Thomas push...push Thomas push..." While we were riding, they played some Thomas music and short stories. He would come down the aisle clapping. Caroline thought that was very entertaining and would watch him coming and dance to the music. So...we had to get a picture of her friend!
