Trains

This has become part of our Christmas Tradition. There are two families who lived beside each other and have these really awesome train tracks in their back yards and at Christmas they open it up to the public. So the past couple of years we gather with some of our friends, grab the hot cocoa (even if it isn't cold outside) and take off to see the trains. When you first get there they have a whole Bethlehem scene set up and it is beautiful. They use Christmas lights as the back drop and when you put on these 3D glasses they have, it makes the lights twinkle and move and it is beautiful. Then you walk in the backyard and there are two train set ups. One with older looking trains, more antique and the other is more modern. We just absolutely love going there and usually during Christmas we end up making a couple of trips. It is so enjoyable to go with some very dear friends. And as I am writing about this now, a couple of months past Christmas - this particular trip from last Christmas means even more. There are two families who went with us that are moving. They have become very dears friends and we have enjoyed sharing our lives with them. We will miss the Wildes and the Campbells so much. They mean the world to us and we think so highly of both of these families, but I have a feeling that good things are in store for them. Good Luck and Best Wishes and you guys better keep in touch. We were and are so blessed to call you friends, but more then that we feel like you guys are family.
