The rest of the week we stayed pretty close to home, but by Friday I was thinking I should take the kids on a day trip or something. I asked on our ward facebook page if anyone had any ideas for something simple. A sister in the ward messaged me about the train that goes from Connersville to Metamora in Eastern Indiana. I looked it up and saw they were running their "Pumpkinliner" on Saturday! It is a fifteen minute train ride and a short hay ride to the pumpkin patch and all the kids get to pick a pumpkin. It was quite cold (in retrospect, it couldn't have been that bad. We were outside with skin exposed and survived. We have since been much, much colder), but we all had a great time.
We started and ended the train in Connersville and decided to drive down to Metamora to see some of their sites and get some lunch. It was a very fun-filled day.
Janie fell asleep in between.
The grist mill is typically powered by the canal but there was a part broken so they were using the secondary power source.
On the way home we drove through Andersonville and had to stop for a picture!
Another wipeout.
