Wild Wild West

Sean was too young to remember his first visit to Tweetsie Railroad. He made up for any lost memories.

They all look scared because this was the Free Fall ride. It was not that bad.

This was as bad as it looks. A lot of spinning!

Panning for Gold.

Bank robbers took over the stagecoach.

Someone offered to take the entire family...

We spent most of our time at the theme park on these horses.

And if this was not all enough, Thomas the Train was here too.

Carousel ride for Ben.

I had no idea these were the faces they were making.


Ben's driving these two lunatics around.
We took the kids to Tweetsie Railroad in Blowing Rock, NC on Sunday. It has a country western theme complete with cowboys, Indians, forts, steam train and plenty of fake horses for the kids to ride on.

We had a great time and lasted for a record 7 hours with their parting words being, "When do we go back?"

After I learned about this, life with children made a lot more sense to me. Not that this is earth shattering material, but it helped me to better understand the hows, whats and whys of behavior in children, and occasionally husbands. I am in no way an expert in this - just a parent who wants to share a behavior strategy that has worked in our home. I hope to inspire others to explore it further.  Any errors in information comes from me and cannot be blamed on the presenters.
