The first time I told the boys G&G Damstra were coming to visit, they immediately asked if we were going on the "choo-choo train". They remembered the Heber Creeper from their last visit over a year ago. It's what started their love of trains. Obviously we had to go on it again.
Waiting to board the train (Cooper on the left, Bennett on the right)
Right before boarding. It was a BEAUTIFUL day.
The boys were a little eager to board. ;)
As soon as the yellow stool came down, they were the first to climb aboard.
Can you feel their excitement?!
Tessa and I got our own benches for most of the train ride.

Cooper needs to work on his "cheese" smile...
One of the beautiful scenes we passed. This is where a robber stopped the train.
She's looking for the box of cash.
The robber was upset that in the box was a squeaky pig instead of money, so she was looking for a hostage. She asked me some questions and then decided that I wouldn't be very useful so let me stay.
Cute Bennett
Time for lunch!
Cooper being silly
Waiting for our tickets to get punched.
Quick stop at Vivian park while the train got turned around.
Loading up again.
Cooper being silly with his string cheese.
On the way back Imy wanted to see the scenery out my side of the train so, of course, all the kids followed her and Dad got a bench all to himself. He took a nap.
Well, took a nap until Cooper decided to wake him up and he got tickled.
After the train ride we decided to go for a drive in the canyon since we were there already. It was the perfect day to do it too. It was really warm and pleasant, yet all the leaves were already starting to turn so the hills looked like rainbows. It was breath-taking.
We stopped at Walmart on our way home to grab supplies for a BBQ. My dad made the mistake of letting Imy and I go in by ourselves while he stayed in the car with the kids. She couldn't resist spoiling the grandkids some more so she bought the boys each their own Nerf gun with extra darts. Tessa got a water baby (which Bennett named "Baby Rose just like Tessa Rose!") and a crib for her baby to sleep in. Some assembly by Grandpa and his little "helpers" required.
