For the first weekend in October, we went with Daddy, Mommy, Poppy, Nana, Uncle Blair, Aunt Blip Blip, and McKinly to the mountains. That Friday, we spent the day at Tweetsie Railroad, and we had SO much fun...trains, rides, food, guns, and more.
Here I am with "Sissy"...saddled up on horses!
I liked this little horse...perfect for my size!
And, a perfect horse for Averie!
One of the first things we did was take a train ride around Tweetsie Railroad. We loved seeing all the horses and all the noises the train made...but we didn't like the "gunshots." Here are Mommy & Averie...ready to take a train ride!
Our Family...Tweetsie Railroad...October 2010
Happy Me to be riding on the train. I said "choo choo" a lot that day!
After the train ride, we got to ride lots of other rides. Here are Daddy & Averie...on Averie's first ferris wheel ride...I even rode it for the first time with Mommy, too...but we didn't get a picture of that!
Daddy & Averie also rode this tilt-a whirl ride, which ended up making Daddy sick for a bit!
But, Averie rode it at least 5 more times...sometimes alone...and other times with Poppy and Nana...
...and other times with Nana and cousin, McKinly. (I decided to eat goldfish during this ride...this one didn't look like fun to me!)
We also got to drive Daddy & Mommy in these cars. Averie took Daddy for a spin in the red car, and she is almost ready to be 16! I took Mommy for a spin in the blue car, but I need a few more lessons before I can be licensed driver...I kept bumping all the walls! :)
Me & Averie...in our super cute Metrolina jackets! (Thanks, Oma!)
I loved these cardboard stands where I put my head through...I smiled through each hole!
While we were there, "Sissy" wanted to get her face painted. She was so brave! She picked out a butterfly...
...and it turned out so cute!
Sweet Averie with her painted butterfly!
We enjoyed spending a lot of time riding rides...here I am with McKinly on this boat ride. We both loved ringing these really loud bells!
Averie enjoyed it, too!
But, Averie really liked the bigger rides more...she is on the scrambler with Nana...
...and then with Daddy. They all loved it!
By this time, it was almost 4:00, I haven't had my nap, and Mommy is trying to take a picture of "Sissy" and me. Well, this is what she got...smiles from Averie and me almost falling off the wagon in exhaustion. Good thing I got a second wind soon after this! :)
Averie on the chair lift ride from one section of Tweetsie Railroad to another!
Daddy & me on the ferris wheel...my second time riding it that day. After this ride is when my second wind began...of course, the skittles that Daddy bought me helped with that, too!
After another hour of rides and walking around, we finished our day at Tweetsie with a quick stop in the gift shop. Averie came out like this...hat, bandana, vest, gun, & holster. She is ready to be a cowgirl!!
And, I came out like this...hat, gun, & holster!
I love this gun...it goes "pow pow" at lots of things!
Daddy & Mommy's adorable kiddies...
Before we left, we all sat in Poppy & Nana's laps, but we had a hard time focusing on smiling when we'd rather be shooting our guns!
But, we did manage to get one of us without the guns in our faces!
Last time on the horse!
Daddy told Averie to hold her gun in the air...
...and then it was my turn. I think Daddy has seen too many western movies! :)
My last time on the horse, too!
Right after we pulled out of the parking lot, I fell fast asleep...and yes, with my gun on my shoulder. I had such a fun day...
...and so did Averie. What a great family day at Tweetsie Railroad!
