Training for Halloween

This evening we joined some friends at the Ohio Railway Museum for the annual trick or treat train event. Wesley and Ryan had never been before and were really excited to go. I'm not sure if they were most excited about the idea of a ride in a real train, getting to wear their costumes, getting treats, or a combination of all three.

Who are these green guys, and how did they get in my kitchen?

Loco Bob shared some train history and spooky/silly train "horror" stories.

That's some conductor!

This guy had to wait a LONG time for the train to leave.

After our excursion, Ryan told us several times how much he loved his costume and that the loved trains and that he really loves Halloween. I'd say this was a winning evening.
