S & S Railroad

This summer we discovered S & S Railroad. This place is a little gem of a railroad hidden right in our backyard. We have lived here 8 years and can't believe we have only discovered it this summer. It is amazing. This guy has a love for trains and has built an amazing railroad through out his property. It is a 17 minute long train ride, which the boys think is the greatest thing ever. They loved every second of it, especially my train loving Camden. They only do rides on certain days and times, and we were racing to fit it in after one of Rylands baseball games but were so glad we did. Ryland still has baseball black under his eyes, but we had a great time! Cam loves trains but is also rather terrified of them until he figures out what is going on. He always plugs his ears when the train is coming. And then once he knows the train isn't heading straight for him, or something like that, he is all smiles! Super excited to go for a ride. Cutest little train ever. Cos and I hanging out while the boys were riding the train Look at those smiles! Loving it! They also have a small park area with a toy train and swings. The boys had a blast running around on the train. And of course swinging! And last but not least they had this awesome model railroad you could look at. It reminded me so much of my Grandpa Ramsey. So many fond memories as a child heading to the basement with my Grandpa to have him run his model railroad for us. Cam was so interested and entertained by watching the trains go around on the track. I am sure he wished he could box it all up and bring it home with him. I sort of wanted to too! :) It was fun to watch them and remember the fun times I had doing that as a kid. Needless to say we have already been back since this trip and I am sure we will be returning many more times. It was such a fun day.
