Choo Choo

Today was beautiful!  Perfect day to go see some trains at the Strasburg Railroad.  We got there just in time to see a train come into the station, watch them move the engine to the other end, get it all ready to go, and steam its way out of the station again.  Luke was a little taken back by how loud it was at first but seemed to enjoy it. 
Coming into the station.

Luke was mesmerized as the engine was getting ready to go.
 We had a little snack and then took a ride on the Cagney train.  It's a miniature steam train that took us on a short ride and back.  It actually used coal and toots its little horn - which I think was Luke's favorite part.  It was cool and Luke got to ride on his first train.  By the time we were done we got to see the real train return to the station and then headed home.  It was perfect timing for a toddler and a basically free afternoon of fun.  I think we'll be headed back there at some point this summer. 
About to go on his first train ride!

Best picture I could get as we were riding -he looks so serious.
