Huckelberry Railroad

We visited a little historic village in Flint this weekend. It is such a fun nice little place. They have a train that you can ride on and a ferry that takes you out onto the lake and cute little houses that have been all restored. There is even an opera house with shows you can go see. They have decorated all the houses for Halloween and you walk around and trick or treat. We got treats, and apples and cider and donuts, it was really fun.

It seems like everywhere we go there is a carousel. I asked Braden which horse he wanted to ride and he wanted to ride the "little horse." Its not the greatest pictures but you can see how small the horses are. It was fun, and the fastest carousel I have ever been on, I was glad when it was over. I guess im getting old.

They had all sorts of old rides, it was fun.

Braden LOVES Clifford, its been just this last week that he saw the show and so it was funny that this was here. When Braden saw this big Clifford he was so excited. He wanted Brian to go with him to touch him. Its so fun to watch kids, they believe everything, those were the days. Life is so much more fun when you are a kid. It was so nice to dress Braden up and go out, it seems like they only ever wear their Halloween costumes once and only for a few hours.

We didnt get to ride on the train, all the tickets were sold out for the night which was really sad because that was why we went in the first place. Braden loves trains so much and we told him we were going on a train ride. He was so excited!! Then we found out that we werent going and we tried to cover it up by having him go on the little kid train and that didnt work, it was so sad. When we were leaving the train was just getting all loaded up with people and the man let him stand on it and look inside, he liked that but I really wish we could have gone on the ride. Oh well, there is always next time.
