Tiny Town

We awoke to rain but decided to visit Tiny Town as planned.  Daniel was a good sport about the drive (30-40 min) and eager for adventure.  The first building that caught his attention was a fire station that he could go in.  He entered, walked around and exited several times.

The train was parked on the tracks near the fire station so Daniel was able to take a close look.  Today's train was pulled by a yellow diesel engine named 'Betsy'.  Daniel also like the red caboose.

Daniel's favorite buildings were the ones he could go in.  While he was exploring a little blue windmill, the rain started up again so he got to play with the umbrella too.  He tried to open the tiny doors when he saw door knobs or handles - he was a little frustrated that he couldn't go into all the buildings.  Some of the buildings I liked best were the flower shop (with a greenhouse), the barn filled with square dancers and the storybook house.

The rain cleared and we played on the playground.  I suspect that's when we all got a little sunburned.  After the playground, I was getting hungry so we wandered to the snack shop.  Not finding many vegetarian options, we bought some gummy candies and a drink and decided to get lunch elsewhere.  We rode the train before we left which was a lot of fun.  Daniel enjoyed being on the train and seeing the extended Tiny Town along the train loop.

We ended up at The Blue Cow in Morrison after an aborted attempt to eat at the Shiprock Grille in Red Rocks.  Lunch was great - but slow arriving. Daniel played with his new train engine and explored the creekside.
