Josh and I took a little trip last week. We spent Wednesday walking around Round Top, then Thursday in San Marcos and Wimberly. Josh's parents stayed with Alex, then took her to their house for the weekend. We lined up a special surprise for Alex on Saturday. My girl LOVES Snoopy and trains so we took her for a ride on the Texas State Railroad on a Peanuts themed ride. The kids were encouraged to dress up so Alex used last years Belle costume. It was so much fun! We started the ride in Rusk. We were able to walk around the depot until the engineer called, "all aboard!"
My girl picked out a super cute pink engineers hat at the gift shop. She proudly carried our tickets around until it was time to board.
On the train ride to the pumpkin patch, they handed out bags and crayons so the kids could decorate their bags to use for trick or treating when they arrived. As soon as we got there, she spotted Snoopy and took off to see him!
A huge hug for Snoopy!
The entire set up was great. They had the pumpkin patch where everyone got to pick a pumpkin, a street front so the kids could trick or treat. They also had carnival type games set up for the kids, a petting zoo, slide, bounce house, hay ride, a stage with a guy singing kids songs and a food vendor.
Alex and Josh picked the perfect pumpkin then we took a hay ride.
On the train ride back, they handed out foam sticker kits to use to decorate the pumpkins. Then Alex turned the camera on us. She loves taking pictures!
The ride was so great, Alex is already asking to go back next year. The Texas State Railroad has several themed rides (a Peanuts Halloween, Easter and Valentines ride along with a Polar Express ride and all the regular excursions). I have a feeling there will be many more train rides in our future!
