Old Forge '09

On Saturday Roland came up with the GREAT idea to take the kids to Old Forge for the day. Seth has a new found love for trains and they just happen to have a fall foliage train ride on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. So we loaded up the kids, packed a picnic lunch and headed out of town for the day.
We decided not to tell Seth where we were going, just that it would be an adventure. He had no idea where we were going until we pulled in the parking lot and he saw a huge train sitting there. His eyes just about bugged out of his head.
Leah took a super long nap in the truck on the way so she was ready to go!
It was really neat because all of the volunteers were dressed in full on train clothing and they made the actual announcements to board on track 1 and such. Seth got a kick out of it all.
We looked for bears and moose along the tracks, unfortunately we didn't see any!
Smiley boy!
The beautiful Moose River.
After the train ride we took a walk through the village of Old Forge and stopped in some shops.
