On her last day here, last Sunday, we took the kids for a mini-steam engine train ride. It was A LOT of fun, something that we did in the Fall with our neighbor and Grammy. This time it was just us. The Wabash, Frisco & Pacific Railroad is in West County, along the way to the trip down to Six Flags.
The ride is a two mile ride back and forth along the same line, through woods, above the Meramec River bluffs. It's simply a gorgeous ride, and I highly recommend it for anyone who hasn't made the venture down to Wildwood.

The scene from our car, riding through the woods.
The ride wasn't completely without incident. We had to stop twice because the engine kept running out of steam, and they had to send another engine to tow us back in. Right before we made it back to the loading area, the rescue engine derailed! Luckily it wasn't a far walk back!

It was an adventure!

oh! I am so glad you posted about this, I've been wanting to take Amelia and do this--sounds so fun. Is this the one that is only on Sundays?
Yeah, only on Sundays, from 11-4 or something like that. Take a picnic along, too, it's a nice park.
Looks like lots of fun...I bet Logan and Madelyn would love it!!
