On Saturday we took a family excursion up North to Sumpter, Oregon. They have an old steam train that you can ride. I have heard about it forever and have always wanted to do it. Rachel Johnson made plans to go and invited us and a bunch of other friends. Luckily the husbands were able to go too and we had a nice family outing together.
Romans family (yes my hair got chopped on Monday, short, short!)
Kelso family
Johnson family
The kids loved the train ride and we even got robbed by the McCarthy Gang! (We had a few kids that were genuinely frightened by this reenactment.) We stopped for an hour in Sumpter. That was just enough time to checked out the dredge (used for gold panning.) It is a very large and impressive structure especially when you think about the era it was designed and built. Of course Kurt had to check out the mechanics of it all.
We rushed to have lunch at the local cafe and then back onto the train. Spencer slept on the ride back and Austin had a nose and full face in his book while Emma Lynn colored. It was great to spend the day together. There is something magical about trains!
All the kids (minus Ruth)
