We didn't hike down into the Mesa -- Amie was crabby & neither Tim nor Grandma thought they would be able to make it -- but it was a beautiful drive & interesting history at the visitors center.
We took the Cumbres, Toltec Narrow Gauge Railroad. It is one of the last narrow gauge, coal driven narrow gauge railroad lines in the country. This particular one is not as popular as the Durango, Silverton run -- but we had heard great things about it. It goes into the mountains (versus the Durango, Silverton runs through the valleys) & at the top of the mountain, you get out & have lunch. It was a very interesting day on the train!
This is a BBQ that we went to. During dinner, the entertainer came around to all the kids & talked about them particpating in a song after dinner called, "Button Maker". I really didn't think that Amie would partipate in it much -- but she had a ball! The song talks about a button pusher that is asked to push a button repeatedly with first his left finger, then both his left and right finger, then both fingers and a foot, then both fingers & both feet & eventually -- both fingers, both feet, forehead and tongue -- so these kids were hopping back and forth, poking their fingers back and forth, bobbing their heads and sticking their tongues out!! It was adorable!!
They also asked for people to tell jokes -- of course Tim told his Jeff Foxworthy joke, "you might just be a redneck, if you're biggest mall is Wal-mart".
