The Heber Creeper




Today was McKenzies big day! Grandpa and Grandma spoiled her by taking her to ride on the train in Heber. It was a cool, rainy day. And honestly, I wasnt quite sure how McKenzie would do with such a long day of riding (4 hours in the car and a 3 hour train ride) but we were all pleasantly surprised! She napped on the ride up to Heber, and was SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED when she woke up at the train depot. She was smiling ear to ear and squeaking her hyper, happy voice. The train wasnt very crowded - maybe 10 passengers on the whole thing - so we had free rome throughout all of the cars. I loved watching her look intently out the window, picking out barns and birds and other fun things that drew her attention. And when something was really cool, she demanded Grandpa get a picture of it! Even though it rained, it didnt seem to be a problem at all. In fact, I think it added to the beauty of the canyon.

Another exciting thing happened yesterday - McKenzie stayed dry ALL day! YAY!!!! Potty training is good at home, but when we are out and about its definititely more of a challenge. However, she again surprised us all, and reminded us of what a big girl she is becoming!

Thank you to Randy and Terri for a wonderful day!

This looks like so much fun! I've thought about doing the train many times, but have never actually done it. We'll have to give it a shot.

And congrats on the dry day out! That is great!
