Steamtrain Leo II*

Today, we went out east and upwards to Snoqualmie for a very local Railroad Festival.
There were lots of freebies, including this fetching hat
But the main attractions were the large old railway engines
In particular, a 105-year-old steam engine that we got to ride in - here are Leo and Mummy watching it arrive.
We were in a lovely old caboose at the front of the train. This meant we could see through the open end down the tracks, but also meant we were closest to the very loud set of air horns. They were used frequently as the train progressed, and Leo wasn't that impressed.
He felt better after a nap on Mummy
making silly faces with Daddy
and being cute
And he also got to look out over Snoqualmie Falls on the way back
