Snow Day
Pappa had fixed up a bin lid and a rope and was pulling Brayden around in the yard. They were so cute. Brayden brought a small sled with him but they had a little better luck with their redneck version.

Riding the train
We walked through the park down from Main Street. There was a nice wide walkway through the park and a mural painted along the wall.
Ann waiting for the train to depart.
About 5 minutes into the train ride Brayden fell asleep. He had worked himself up so much he was exhausted by the time the actual ride began. He slept most of the way to Winslow. He woke up right as we were entering the tunnel outside of Winslow.
Even though we were a little early for the fall colors the mountains were still beautiful.
Getting ready to enter the tunnel. Since we were seated up in the dome there were windows all along the sides and up above us also. The view was great.
On the trip back to Van Buren from Winslow we went down to the lower part of the car where it was much cooler. Here Brayden and Pappa are checking out the second set of tracks.
Our little engineer, he really seemed to enjoy the trip. I know we all did.

Pigeon Forge
Ripley's Aquarium, Pigeon Forge
There was a moving walkway thru the main tank.
There was a play area for the children. Brayden checks out the large oyster.
Brody and Adam pose in the diver's suit.
The boys went up into the center of one of the tanks. They even found Nemo.

Casey Jones Museum
Casey Jones was killed in a train collision in April of 1900, something common for that day.
