Earlier in July, our travels back from a photography show brought us near Boone, North Carolina and Tweetsie Railroad. Tweetsie Railroad is a small, very family friendly train themed amusement park near Boone and Blowing Rock, NC. Growing up in NC, Brent and I both went to Tweetsie as children with our parents and grandparents.
It was really fun to take our girls to Tweetsie now. They were great ages to really have a lot of fun here. One of the first stops of the day was to ride the train. They loved it!
They loved the horse statues throughout the park too! Somewhere way back in one of the family photo albums, there is a picture of me sitting on one of these horse statues too.
This was a first train ride at Tweetsie for Bekah, Bethany and Allie. Bekah and Bethany loved riding the train and Allie slept through the whole ride!
After the train ride, we rode the chair lift up to the top of the mountain, which is where a lot of the kid's rides are. Here are Bekah and Bethany riding the airplane ride.
Not kidding, Rachel rode the Tweetsie Twister at least half a dozen times...and obviously, loved it! Bekah and Bethany were disappointed that they weren't quite tall enough to ride it with her yet!
All the big girls liked the Ferris Wheel, or as Bethany calls it "the roller coaster."
Oh, the mini-cars. It was an adventure watching these two and riding with them as they were driving the track...the time when they turn 16 is going to be a Real adventure!
While we were at Tweetsie, they brought out Number 12, which is the older steam engine and of course, we had to ride the train again.
Allie did finally wake up for part of the train ride.
We had a great time at Tweetsie Railroad. Thankful for the chance to make some good memories with our girls at this fun place.
