Big Christmas Trip


We took a long train ride to see my parents this Christmas.  All my sisters and brother were there for Christmas and we had so much fun!
Here is Islwyn riding the train.

New Years Eve popcorn party!!!!  Hanging with Leslie--playing a game of pool.

Here are pics from the "after" popcorn party (after Islwyn went to bed).  Grandpa and Aaron are spinning.

From our train on the way home.  This is the oldest train station in the country -- Martinsburg WV.  And also I think one is of Harper's Ferry.

Playing guitar with Papa.
...and with grandpa.

It was really cool to see all the pics from the train ride and after we left. So sad we couldn't stay any longer!! It looked like a lot of fun!

Wow! What a fun trip! The train ride is such a neat idea! I know the last time you flew it was a bit rough. I hope all is well!
