We took a trip aboard the Heber Valley Railroad (Heber Creeper) today and had a great time. The train didn't reach over 10 MPH the whole time, so I understood the 'creeper' part. Ethan and Sydney loved it when the conductor said, "all aboard" and we climb on the train. It was decorated for Christmas and we crawled along and then reached a point on the track where they did a poorly-acted train robbery. Sydney was pretty scared and didn't like them at all.
The ride ended up being close to 2 hours and both kids were so tired. I told Ethan to fall asleep in my arms and tried to soothe him, but then some other character would walk onboard talking about how they "found the train robber" or had a performer come sing...made for a tough nap.
They still had a great time...although it was a too long when you're only moving 5-10 MPH.
