Boulder City Train

Saturday Jeff THOUGHT it would be fun to take the kids down to the Boulder City Train and go for a ride. Well, we seemed to forget that we have two very opinionated and independant toddlers and any fun activity can quickly turn into a miserable one given their moods. Jackson sat still for about two seconds, and then he wanted to wander up and down the train cars. There were several sessions of screaming and one throw-myself-on-the-floor tantrum (pictured below). Love that!

At one time this engine was actually used for the Heber Creeper!


enjoying the ride...for a moment anyway

The Polar Express will be better - there'll be tons of kids around to keep everyone entertained! Plus, the threat of Santa!

We have been talking about doing this train ride since Cole's 1st birthday (he's 5 1/2, lol) and still haven't done it.
Sorry it turned out to be un-fun, that always seems to happen with toddlers.
Speaking of toddlers, I totally feel your pain. Carson had about 200 (or more) meltdown lie on the floor screaming tantrums at disneyland this last trip, ugh!

Hey there long time no talk. Yes we have moved. We are still in the same ward just in a bigger house. We like it a lot but are really hoping Matt's practice takes off like we think it will.

I have wanted to ride the boulder city trains for a while now. Thanks for the reminder. Your kids are getting so big.:)

Isn't that funny how sometimes things seem like such a great idea until you do them with the kids and everything falls apart?

We can't wait to see you in a week!!
