So my mom booked this train ride for everyone. My kids love trains, so she first came up with the idea a couple years ago. Its about an hour long, from Whitefish to Essex, and its a beautiful ride. It only runs twice a day, however, so we had to wake up pretty early in the morning to make it. It was totally worth it. The view were beautiful.
Yaya/Kenna with my kids, and Ahni and Jeriah:
Todd, Christina, Eldon and Iyezk:
Dylan doing a little sight-seeing with Yaya's binoculars:
We had breakfast at the Izaak Walton Inn, and then did the easter egg hunts there (one for 7&up grandkids, and one for 6 on down). The younger kids preparing to take off:
It was pretty icy and snowy up there and unfortunately I wasn't fast enough to get any pictures of the most hilarious part of this egg hunt. This pavilion is used for ice skating in the winter, and still has a thin layer of (very slick) ice on it. So as all the little kids took off to find the eggs they all fell down, one by one, about half a second apart. Splat! "Ahhh!' Splat! "Ahhhh!" It was too funny.
Dylan and Paisley take off up the hill with the rest of the troupe, hand in hand. These two really like each other.
When you're sleep deprived anyway, 4am is EARLY. They crashed out pretty hard after their day in the snow.

Oh Becka, it looks like you had an amazing visit. I would be totally jealous if I weren't heading up that way in just a few days. Seeing so many kiddos in your parents house just made me smile. It wasn't that long ago that it was us! When did we grow up? Now look at all the little kiddos! You are looking fabulous, by the way!
