Now that my mom is in Utah, she has requested that every chance we get we show her around some of the local sites that we have available to us in this beautiful part of the country. So, instead of putting flowers on graves for Memorial Day, we decided to honor our ancestors in another way, by taking a train ride through Heber Valley! My mom has family members that worked on the railroad back in the day including her own grandpa. Her love for trains runs deep! We had been on this particular train ride a few years ago for our anniversary, so we thought it would be fun to do it again, this time with Miles and grandma in tow. It turned out to be the perfect day! We all had such a great time. I am so glad we can share these moments with my mom!
Katy was the line that her grandpa worked on I believe???
Getting ready to board
We sat in the open-air car so our view was less restricted
Every time the conductor would blow the horn, Miles would turn to look with this concerned look on his face
Always has to have something in his mouth, this time he chose to eat grandma's hat
Our steam engine trainHaving a good time
Beautiful views
Miles got his first tooth on May 19th, we've been trying to get a picture of it ever since
Once we got to Vivian Park in Provo Canyon, our engine unhooked from the front and reattached to the back so that it could pull us back to Heber
While they were unhooking and re-hooking the engine, we had some entertainment along the highway to watch
It was a three hour trip & Miles finally gave up about 45 mins. before we got back, he was a tired boy

Okay, that little boy is really way too cute! I love his hair. He looks like he's really thriving.
My sister and fam said that she saw you as they were leaving on the Thomas train, but they were too far away to say hi. They want to take the real train next time since the Thomas one was a really short ride and they didn't get to see much.
I bet you are loving having your mom so close! Miles is such a cutie! How much fun.
