Heber Creeper

My father-in-law loves trains. So this year he decided he needed to take Izzy on the Heber Valley Railroad. Of course the weekend we choose to go was the weekend we got hit really hard with snow. But that didn't derail Douglas. We just left earlier that morning. Lucky for us the canyons actually weren't too bad.

Once on the train, Izzy was so excited that she didn't have to be in a car seat. She just wanted to walk around and stand up on all the benches. For the first half an hour she would just point at every new thing she could find. And I am sure that grandpa had fun showing Isabel all the scenery. It must have been a really tiring process because she fell asleep. The swaying of the train I am sure helped.

Once we were at the turn-around point, we got out and played in the snow a bit. Grandma and Grandpa bought her this new snowsuit that kept her so toasty warm. After a bit of fun in the snow, a visitor arrived for all the kids. Santa came and rode back to town with us. As you can tell from the picture my child wasn't excited for the new visitor and even less so to be standing that close to him. But she survived. She however loved the candy cane he left with her.
