South Simcoe Railway - Fall Colour Excursion

1 steam train + 4 three year-olds + fall colours + potluck lunch = ONE FUN DAY!!

South Simcoe Railway which operates all summer on Sundays and Mondays has Fall Colour Excursions on Saturdays and Sundays in September and October.  This marks the third time Ken and I have been on the Excursion, the second for Kate and the first time for Alice.  We thought we'd invite a few friends and make it a party, and so it was.  We had the first four compartments in the second train.  It was a beautiful day.  I must admit, that although the script for the tour hasn't changed since the first time I heard it, I still find it enjoyable!

Kate looking very concerned as the Conductor told the story of the ghost train.  (This was the talk for the rest of the afternoon with the four year-olds, ghosts and zombies too)
