Tweetsie Railroad

The day didn't start out well, as the train ride stopped for the indians & the outlaws to fight & shoot (some blanks!). Jackson just kept his ears covered & Eli was just trying to figure out where all the noise was coming from!

Randy and I, and Jeremy & Kaleb rode the ferris wheel & we were able to get some fun shots of J & K.....

The boys also got to ride plenty of rides! I don't have a lot of the pictures because i was on the rides too & Aunt Marie took them with their camera (send them to me, Marie!!!) Here they are on the planes..... but they also rode the merry go round, cars, tilt a whirl, etc.....

We had some photos opportunities on the horse & carriage. Since Eli's favorite animal is a horse, it was suiting!

And we also got to go into a feeding area & feed some animals. There were lamas, goats, & deer. This was everyone's favorite part i think! Here is Eli feeding a deer....
Mama feeding the deer... i had never been so close to a deer before! (Not one alive anyway!) Jackson fed the lama who was greedy!
Here is a little video for evidence....

On a side note here: Jackson went with me to buy these cones of food for the animals. As i was paying, he was holding them. I hadn't mentioned the fact that it was animal food yet, and as i heard a crunch, i looked over & yes, the 4 year old had taken a bite! YUCK! He spit it out about the time i screamed!

We took the chairlift up to miners mountain....here is Randy & Eli in front of us....
And this is them behind us (on the way back down). Excuse the blur, but they all turned out that way on the way back down! (Again.... Jeremy got a great one of all of us! HINT. HINT)

And here is Jackson sitting next to me on the chair lift. He really enjoyed this, but i have to be honest, i was a little nervous to have kids on this thing! This picture pretty much sums up the day.... Eli tuckered out! We went for one last ride on the merry go round, & he fell asleep on the ride! It was too funny!
