Trains and Ponies

This last week we headed up to Logan to have Family Home Evening with my brother Craig and Holly and their little girl, Emily. We had some yummy homemade chili for dinner, then went over to the American West Heritage Farm. They have a fun little train you can ride and other fall activities that are fun for little ones.

You can see the terror in Elliott's eyes after the ride, he started kicking when he thought we were getting back on. One ride was enough for him.

He sure was excited before the ride began. During the car ride over and until we got on the train, he kept repeating "chugga chugga choo choo."

But then, when it started moving he got a little scared.

After the first lap, he clung to my lap saying, "Hold 'ee" which is how he says hold me.

Then we headed over to the pony rides. Elliott was excited to wear the helmut.

And he did great sitting on the pony, but when it started moving he wanted off. I kept distracting him by having him say giddyup.

There was also a playground, obstacle area made with haybales. Elliott loved this little slide, maybe becasue he had to scoot down and it was very slow.

We had so much fun!

We also slid down a giant slide down the hill on small pieces of carpet. We then went through the giant corn maze and Ben and Wendy (who met us there) led us through quickly and efficiently. Craig and Holly then shared some doughnuts with us in the parking lot and we all headed to our homes. It is fun to have 2 families living up in Logan that we can visit. It is only an hour away and the drive through Sardine Canyon was so gorgeous with all the trees' leaves changing. We saw lots of red and orange and yellow leaves.
