Tweetsie Railroad!







Today we enjoyed the unexpected blessing of getting to spend the whole morning with Sophie at Tweetsie Railroad! We ended up with three free tickets, so Sophie, Rusty and I threw the picnic basket in the car and headed out early for our big date. We started the day's events with a good old-fashioned Tweetsie Railroad train ride (complete with the badly-acted-out Cowboys vs. Indians routine :)) then headed up the hill to the rides for Sophie-sized kids. We eased into it with a couple of rides on the carousel and then headed to the rides that Sophie had to ride all by herself. It didn't take long for her to get the hang of it, and even though she was covered with chill bumps (sorry to those of you in hot places, but it was COLD here this morning!), have a huge smile on her face! We rode the chair lift, fed the animals, and enjoyed the rides. Then we hit the "K-9's in Flight" dog show on our way out and drove to the greenway to have our picnic lunch. We had such a great time and were so thankful for the chance to spend some time with "just the three of us." What a blessing!
