Park City . Day 4

October 14, 2013   |    With a fun activity planned that evening, we thought it would be best to stay "low-key" during the day.  We took the boys back to the resort's indoor/outdoor pool, despite the snow storm!

Most days we were on vacation the boys each got a new small toy.  We decided not to take any toys with us, just so that the boys had something new to play with each day.  This day, the boys received 3 train bath "squirters" - a perfect gift for a morning at the pool, and an evening spent on a train!

The boys enjoyed watching the snow fall outside their bedroom window.  It snowed all morning, but it hadn't been cold enough for it to stick for very long.  It was pretty while it lasted!

On Monday evening we headed to Heber Valley Railroad to board their Monday Night Family Train.  We stopped at a local place for a Mexican dinner (the boys' request) before boarding the 7:00pm train.  The train car was a bit cramped, but the boys loved it.  Each of them took turns looking out the window, until it was too dark outside to watch the passing view.  The train actually had to make two stops due to some issues, but the boys never realized it wasn't part of the ride - they just enjoyed their time on the train.  Patrick took Ryder to the middle car, where concessions were available.  Predictably, when given the chance to pick candy, Ryder picked to share a bag of M&Ms.  Before leaving I tried to capture one last shot of them in front of the train (even thought it was dark), but they weren't too interested in my idea!

We will definitely plan a return trip to the Heber Valley Railroad!  The only thing I would change is the time of day - it would be fun to see out the view out the window for the whole ride.
