A Choo Choo Train

I'm ALMOST done posting about our trip to Boise. Getting closer!!! On Saturday morning, as part of our "uncamping" trip, we took a train ride up through the mountains. It was a Wild West Train and the young girls were very nervous about getting robbed. The show they put on was fun, though, and not scary so everyone felt fine about it. Caleb and Josh especially enjoyed riding on the train and couldn't stop pointing out all the cool things they saw outside of the windows.

Donnetta made bag sandwiches for everyone, labelled and everything. We ate them at a park before we got on the train.

Mmmmm. Lunch.

As part of the show, they gave all of us fake money and "deputized" all the kids. This lady was from a "Home for Wayward Girls" and happened to steal Ammon's money. He chased her down, though, as a "deputy" and took his money back. She sheepishly said that no one has ever tried to get their money BACK before! That's my boy!

Look at those cuties
Towards the end of the train ride, most of the kids became very sleepy. We lost four or five of them to their sweet dreams.

You know life is fun when it wears you out that much!
