This past weekend, we headed up north to Andy's parents' trailer at Sandy Shores. Last year we were able to go visit a man who had his own private model train track that we were able to ride. He went by the name of Frosty. Well, Andy's dad was able to secure us another ride for the weekend and Frosty gave us a hearty welcome for the second time.


Here he is driving the train with Mikaela in front of him and Aiden directly behind him.

Mikaela with cousins Grace & Caity.

The Weller girls had to take a ride too, since we didn't take advantage of the offer last time.

That's me, Amber (Nick's wife), and Cathy (Bob's wife), with Aiden (and Bob) as engineer.

We were able to go inside the caboose again too. It's very interesting to see what the bunks, woodstove, and other things were like inside.

Aiden enjoyed the map. The pushpins represent visitors from all over the nation.

The best part - Frosty does all of this for free. He just enjoys sharing his love of trains with anyone who would like to know more. Thanks, Frosty!
