Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad Trip

  About a week ago, Joey and Dawson had a very special weekend.  Joey and Dawson left on Saturday and headed up for one last trip up to the cabin.  Joey said the weather was beautiful and they had a great time.
    The girls and I stayed at home.  We enjoyed our boy free time by having a girls night with Katy and Ella.  They spent the night and we watched Cinderella, did nails and makeup, and played restaurant.  The girls said it was the best girls night ever!
      Joey and Dawson headed down to Joey's dad's house on Sunday.  They spent Sunday watching football and doing typical guy stuff.  On Monday, something very special happened.  Dawson has seen some commercials on T.V. for the Leadville train.  Every time he sees one, he gets very excited and tells me how badly he wants to ride it.  Joey decided it would be a great activity to do with Dawson and his dad.  Joey said the train was just perfect.  They picked a day where the weather was just gorgeous.  It was also prime time for the changing aspens so he said they got a spectacular view.  He said there is a lot of history along the way.  Dawson had so much fun.  He got the biggest kick out of giving the conductor his ticket and getting it stamped.  The conductor also gave him a special flattened quarter.
    Dawson came home that night, bursting with joy and he was so excited to tell me all about his adventure.  What an adventure he had!!!




Things are definitely changing up at the cabin.  A lot less green, and a lot more brown!
