A week or so ago I called a friend of ours who works for the railroad to see if we might be able to get a tour of the train yard when the Cartwrights come to visit. Their son Steven absolutely loves trains and I thought it would be a nice surprise. To my dismay, they don't give tours anymore but said sometimes they give free train rides. He called back a few days later and said we could go on the 2008 BNSF Special on Monday, unfortunately our friends weren't coming until Tuesday. We decided to take the tickets anyway and surprise the kids. So at 8am this morning we got in the car and took them over to the train. We all had a great time. About every 30 minutes people would come through with prizes and snacks. Halfway through the ride Glen and the boys went exploring some of the other passenger cars. They were all different. Mom, Lydia and I ended up joining them a little later on. It was a 2 1/2 hour ride. It was a lot of fun. Thank you Andy for the tickets!
