Ridin' the rails with the boys

So Cheryl, aka the Mistress of Fall Fun, bought the family tickets on the Pumpkin Express, which is a steam train that runs from Elbe to ... a few miles from Elbe, up near Mount Rainier. It was a ton of fun, and I'm not even a train freak (there were a few of those on board, wearing their shirts from other railways). Our boys wore their Thomas costumes, of course.

We got to stop, pick up punkins and candy ... and trade one engine for another, which would have been cooler if not for the oily steam raining down on us the whole way home. Ah well. Some call it "icky," others consider it "character." I'll go with "character."
