Real live trains

On Saturday we took the kids to the Don River Railway to have a ride on a train (there are no passenger trains down here in Tassie). We had a little wander around the yard to look at the trains however I think the kids were more interested in rocks but at least they humored us for a photo.
After catching the train to uni a couple of times a week I never thought I would pay to ride on a train just for the sake of a train ride....the things we do for our little ones.
While we were waiting for the train to leave I taught Chloe the finer art of drawing in the fog on public transport windows.
Lachie wasn't too phased by the fact that we were riding on a real live train and I think was frustrated by the fact that he couldn't walk around. Chloe didn't mind the trip but I think she would have liked it better if we went somewhere (I think we might have to take a real train ride when we go to Sydney this week).
Even if the kids didn't go crazy for the trains at least it was good to get out of the house and spend some time together as a family.
