Just before this summer started a couple months ago, I made a list of places I wanted to take Caleb and Ava. Today we crossed one more off our list... Osceola/St. Croix Train ride. This Sunday morning, we packed food and drink, hopped in the truck and drove about 1 hr 17 minutes (according to Mapquest) to Osceola, Wisconsin. The train ride itself was 90 minutes, during which we walked all the different train cars from caboose to engine lots and lots, ate lunch, watched the scenery pass by out the windows, saw how the engine hooks up to a train car, and took in this fun trip.
Caleb has loved trains since about the age of 3. Ava has come happily along on our other train trips the last couple years- Amtrak train ride and many visits to Bandana Square train museum in St. Paul. A train table and lots of trains have been collected over the past few years. His 4th birthday party was a train theme, complete with my home-made train cake. Whenever we are driving and Caleb sees a train going down train tracks how excited he still gets every time.
Today was another great memory and adventure with my kids...
