| Ready with their tickets! |
It's always fun to do something special with the family. For the past several summers, we have taken the grandchildren to Cherry Crest Farms and we decided to do that again this year but we also decided to add Strasburg Railroad to it. The grandchildren and their parents and Steve and I met at Cherry Crest on Saturday morning. We spent several hours enjoying the many activities and then ate our lunch there. Just as we were finishing eating, it began to rain and we made a mad dash for our cars. We traveled the short distance to Strasburg Railroad where the rest of the family was planning to join us for the train ride. We were early and it was pouring so we sat in our vehicles for awhile. Jay's were parked right beside us and we invited the kids to join us in our car. They happily bounded over (except for Hannah) and our car was soon quite lively. Fortunately, it stopped raining just about the time that Josh and Julissa and Megan and Jeremy arrived. We soon boarded the train and enjoyed a leisurely ride through the beautiful countryside. After the train ride, everyone came back to our house for the remainder of the day. It started to rain again and continued raining for the remainder of the day, but that didn't stop us from having a great time. Jeremy made delicious chicken barbecue for us for supper and the rain was perfect for children to ride their bikes and tricycles in. Sure, they got wet but they definitely had fun!
