Visit to Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum in Calera

Saturday we went to the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum. They let you ride in the train to the pumpkin patch. It was not as big an event as I thought it would be. When you get to the "pumpkin patch," which is really an open area with pumpkins placed around, there is one bouncy house, face painting, tractor hay ride, and a gigantic inflated pumpkin. You stay in this area for about 20 minutes. The entire event takes around 1 1/2 hours. All the workers are volunteer!! That is amazing to me that all these people love kids and trains so much that they volunteer their weekends so people can come and enjoy the trains. They have a monthly dinner train that I would like to attend. (without kids) The kids enjoyed the train ride, and it was all so exciting to Brianne. She has become such a chatter bug, and she talked nonstop all day. Afterwards we all needed a nap from all the talking.

They do an excellent job keeping the trains up.

She thought she was so pretty after having her face painting. She is the ultimate princess.
