We got to go on a free train ride with the kids last weekend. It started at Elgin and followed the Grande Rhonde River a ways. It was a beautiful snowy day that wasn't too cold! We felt like we were on the Polar Express. Michael was at drill so Mom and Larry came with me. It was so much fun.
The snow was falling gently with big beautiful snow flakes. Here is a picture of the Grande Rhonde River. We saw a bunch of wild turkeys. I took a picture but they are too far away to really tell what they are.
I love this one of Hailey with her arm around Josiah. She loves her brother so much.
You can see the delight on Hailey's face. Josiah thought it was pretty cool, too.
A family friend of ours, Dave Arnold, was the conductor on the train. He stopped long enough for us to take some pictures of him with the kids and chat a bit.
Sooooo precious Jackie!
ReplyDeleteYou take beautiful pics!
I just LOVE your little kids! I looked just like that at their age. I used to get pet a LOT by people.
After 4 kiddos, I'm still left asking... where's my readhead??
I meant REDhead. oops
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I Jackie! I read your blog off of Jamie Aker's. I really enjoying keeping up with your family. Hey, I've been wondering if you have a recipe for a hot chocolate mix I can make ahead and keep on hand that kids will like. You know so it sort of tastes and has a similar texture to the high fructose corn syurp stuff in a box at the store???
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays! Your family is so fun to keep up with!

Great pictures! That would be so much fun - Olivia would absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the one of Hailey with her arm around Josiah! The benefits of having siblings! Oh how sweet.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it was free. Hood River's train is really expensive. What a blessing.
Oh I love these pictures. Everyone is having so much fun. What a special memory.
ReplyDeleteI agree that you take great pictures.
ReplyDeleteI just had to comment on how CUTE those little redheads are.
