Northeastern Ohio Live Steamers!

Saturday night at 6:30 we arrived at the Lester Road
Rail Trail to take a ride on the "Live Miniature Train".
What a hoot! Children were invited to wear Halloween
Costumes (with the exception of long and flowing ones)
for obvious reasons when you take a look at the size of the train, and the close proximity of your feet and the ground!
(see last photo)

The little train wound through a maze of over 150 Inflatable Halloween Spooks, Goblins, Witches, Spinders and all sorts
of affiliated sights and sounds. The ride took about 20 minutes to complete, and by the time we got on board it was very dark, so the sights and sounds were extra amplified!

Daniel wore his Airline Pilot Hat, but pretended he was a conductor. He said "All Aboard, saluted and presented you
with a pretend ticket to ride". (much like the conductor for the Polar Express).

We waited in line for 1 hour and 15 minutes. The lines spread out behind us with hundreds of parents and children. The three of us rode on the last car of our designated train and it was a totally, totally cool experience. One not to be forgotten, and looked forward to for next year!

How lucky are we!
