On Saturday, my parents were in town for Easter -- well, they came in before their BIG trip to Disney World with my sister and her family -- so we decided to take the boys to Winnsboro to ride the 'Egg-spress.' Essentially, it's an hour train ride through Winnsboro that includes a visit from the Easter Bunny. Porter has been an avid fan of trains for as long as I can remember, so I knew he would get a kick out of riding the real thing!
We decided to go for the early departure, so we were ready with our tickets by 9:15 am. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait long before we heard the conductor shout, "ALL ABOARD!"
Bowman not only stayed awake for the entire ride, but seemed to really enjoy looking at everyone and everything. Lately, I think he's developed an aversion to the camera...or maybe just the flash! I swear, his expression changes the minute we take a picture. Oh well, he still looks pretty cute!
Porter loved watching the world go by from his window. His favorite part of the ride was when we went through the 'tunnel.' He was glad to discover the ride included two trips through his favorite place!
Once the train was on the move, the conductor came around the take everyone's ticket, and even punched a few "special" ones. Porter was surprisingly brave; he eagerly gave the conductor his ticket without a moment's hesitation!
Then the Easter Bunny arrived! Bowman was a HUGE fan...Porter, well, NOT SO MUCH! He liked him from afar, but as soon as the furry guy got close to our seats, Porter shrunk behind Craig. Oh well...we had fun nonetheless!!
